Clearly.

likefunny

It really depends. My home airport of LGA/JFK - it really doesn’t make a difference (maybe 2-4 minutes saving) but for some reason DCA’s TSA PreCheck line is often quite long so Clear comes in handy.

I would just have a look at the airports you travel and determine the usefuleness

Yeah so not peak times

If you are United, it will save you marginal amounts of time once in a while. I would say no.

But if you are 1K plus then it’s free

If it ever saves you, you will feel like it is worth it. CLEAR saved me from missing my flight to the Bahamas for Christmas. I got to the airport at 5am for a 630 flight and the lines were OUT THE DOOR. By the time I checked my bag, my flight was going to depart in 15min. CLEAR is the only thing that saved me from missing that flight. If I didn’t make it, the next available flight wasn’t going to be until the day after Christmas and cost me $600.

Yes

I don’t think so if you have precheck. There’s the rare occasion where it might save you 5-10 minutes but that’s not common in my experience and hardly worth it either.

Also, GS/1K on United get Clear for free. As a result, the Clear line at SFO (T3) is usually about as long as precheck

I get it for free through Deloitte. It’s nice but I wouldn’t pay for it otherwise. PreCheck is usually enough.

Actually it looks like you guys may be right. I just checked DNET and it doesn’t state that it’s covered. Oh well — I expensed it close to a year ago with no issue. I’ll just make sure it doesn’t renew.

In DTW, it’s saved me so many times having precheck + clear during peak business travel times.

Never really had a problem with only TSA and I’m United / SFO Terminal 3. I’ve found it always longer to drive through the terminals than to get through security.

I never thought I was going to like it. I got it for free as a Diamond on Delta and I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed Clear

We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations.
