Frequent travelers if you have not taken the time to sign up for TSA Clear, you really should. It is SO worth it! Many major airports including Charlotte Douglas International Airport have special lines for TSA Clear passengers.
For $100 (and going through the registration/approval process) you get the benefit of
- Designated lines which are VERY short....I've never waited more than 5 minutes
- You no longer have to remove, shoes, coat, laptop, 3 oz items, etc.
I can now get to the airport about 30 minutes later than I normally would.
NOTE: This program is airline specific. The following airlines currently DO NOT recognize the CLEAR program:
JetBlue
AirTran
Southwest
If you fly out of Charlotte as I do you are probably on US Airways most of the time and US Airways recognizes the program. I think everyone should write to the other airlines and push for them to recognize the program.
