So if there&#8217;s a way to skip the crowds, even if it means paying for it, we might be inclined to consider it. <strong>Most of us already know about TSA PreCheck, but we may not be familiar with what CLEAR is.<\/strong> To remedy that, we&#8217;re taking a deep dive into what CLEAR at the airport is and if it&#8217;s worth it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Long queues at check-in, baggage claim, and, the worst of them all, security checkpoints are a common source of frustration for flight travelers at busy airports. In peak travel seasons like the summer or the holidays, lines at security checkpoints may be hours long. This can be a major source of stress for travelers.<\/p>\n<p>There is, however, a way to avoid waiting in long security queues and the accompanying anxiety. If you&#8217;re looking for a way to speed through airport security without having to dig around for your ID or passport, CLEAR is the way to go.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
