Clear registration
 
Is anyone using the Clear lines (with the Clear card)? If your airport has it - does it save you as much time as I would optimistically hope it would? OR - has the line just moved? Wondering how much time it actually saves you going through security, and if people think it's worth it....

I would immediately exclude myself.

If flying internationally and checking a suitcase in, I must do it at least 60 minutes before the flight, enough time for a regular security line which is getting faster and faster these days.

I've seen at several airports I frequent, but as Faina states security lines the security lines in which I wait aren't long anyway.

I've noticed, too, that security lines everywhere are moving much more quickly.

So - no one on this board has used Clear? I'm kind of surprised, since I saw lots of people using it in Orlando (and the line to get through security was awfule)... At Dulles, depending on when your flight leaves - security can be quite long. Just thought I'd check one more time....

They will have to drag me and put a gun to my head before I sign up for this BS program!

From what I've read here and elsewhere, it's useful at only MCO. And if you use MCO a lot, it's worth it. If you don't use MCO a lot, then absolutely not.

Well - they have it at Dulles (and about 6 other airports including MCO) - and now they're implementing a "trusted traveler" program for those coming back from international travel - which would be a great help in Dulles (I never check luggage on business travel), so I think I'm going to do it - I'm just surprised there's no one on here that has used Clear... Ok - thanks! I'm probably going to go that route - so I'll let you guys know how it goes...

I flew out of MCO on March 28 and in the security line, they asked for people traveling alone. They moved me to a line designated for people who fly a lot. Is that the same thing? The security lines were long and they wanted all lines used. It was the last line on the left side.

wally,

Debi - did you apply for a Clear card yet? If not, I have a discount code that Clear sent me that will give you an extra month free plus will give me an extra month as well.
