Faster Airport Experience
June 24, 2008 | Permalink
At major airports, the security line has become untenable for the regular traveler: A lot of time is wasted; flights are missed. For the road warrior, this aggravation is compounded by multiple flights. However, there are ways to get to the front of the line.
Makers of the Clear Card have just announced a partnership with Delta, which will add more airports and terminals to the system. $128 a year does not sound like a lot for a guaranteed security line of 5 minutes or less. And with the current gas prices, I wouldn’t be surprised if more airports are enticed by the additional revenue.
If you don’t often fly into airports that have the Clear System set up, it may not be worth the money. but that still doesn’t mean you have to go to the back of the line. Smart Money suggests keeping your frequent flier card handy in order to see if you qualify for the priority line for preferred customers.
And even if you do have to enter the queue, be sure to check the TSA website to find out which line is shortest. That way, at least you’re not waiting longer than you have to.
