When flying into the US, these work exactly the same way as Global Entry (and also include TSA PreCheck).ĬLEAR costs $179 a year, although just signing up for a free Delta or United frequent flyer account would reduce that to $119 ($109 if you have status and $0 if you have top tier status i.e. These have fairly targeted use and tend not to be reimbursed by credit cards so they aren't as popular and are outside the scope of this post, but you might want to look into them if you often travel to Canada or Mexico. Customs and Border Protection has two other programs: NEXUS (for frequent travel across the Canadian border) and SENTRI (for frequent land travel into the US from Canada and Mexico). are programs from their respective airlines offering a dedicated and shorter line at the TSA security checkpoint (as well as other benefits: usually a dedicated airline check-in counter, priority boarding, priority checked bag handling on arrival, etc.). It itself serves no purpose on a domestic flight or an outbound international flight, however membership includes TSA PreCheck and its benefits listed above. Customs and Border Protection offering a dedicated and (sometimes) shorter line when going through immigration. Once you get to the scanner, you also have a couple of nice perks (don't have to remove your shoes / belt / light jacket when going through the scanner, and don't have to take your laptop / liquids out of your carry-on for the X-ray machine). TSA PreCheck is a program from the TSA offering a dedicated and (often) shorter line at the TSA security checkpoint. You then go through the scanner just like everyone else.
Before going through security, you scan your eyes or fingerprints at an automated kiosk then a CLEAR employee will accompany you straight to the TSA agent who checks your boarding pass, right before the scanner. What's the difference between CLEAR, TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and SkyPriority / Premier Access / etc.?ĬLEAR is a private company offering you to completely skip the line at the TSA security checkpoint. I've noticed a lot of posts about TSA PreCheck and Global Entry recently, and while it can be argued whether those have their place on this sub, I figured the best way to handle this would be to have a single thread for it.
