If only there was a service that stopped people from taking their shoes off on the plane. However, CLEAR is available in some stadiums and venues, so if you plan on attending many games or concerts and the stadium uses CLEAR, it's an easy way to get your money's worth.Īirport travel is always going to be a stressor for many, but TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and CLEAR make things a little easier.

(Outside the context of flying, for what it's worth, a free version of CLEAR is available in some sports stadiums and venues.) Not to mention, if you don't have TSA Precheck, CLEAR puts you in the regular line, where you have to take off your shoes, take your liquids out, and so on. If you have plans to leave the country, or you take international trips at least every other year, the extra $22 for Global Entry is worth breezing through the Customs line.Ĭonsidering I've never waited more than a few minutes in a TSA PreCheck line, I can't justify the cost of CLEAR Plus, as only one year is almost twice the price of Global Entry's 5-year membership. The bottom line: Which is best?įor those who don't leave the country and want the most economical option, TSA PreCheck is the way to go. For an extra $22 spread across 5 years, it's worth it. A lot of people disregard Global Entry because they don't leave the country often enough. The kicker that so many people don't realize: Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck. As someone who has stood sleepy-eyed in a Customs line for over half an hour, this service is well worth the cost. Instead of waiting in line, you proceed straight to a Global Entry kiosk, snap a quick photo, collect a printed receipt and hand it to an officer. Basically, after your 8-hour flight and zombie slog to the Customs and Immigration department, there's a line with a bunch of people in it, and there's a much shorter line, which is for Global Entry. Customs and Border Protection that allows pre-approved travelers to expedite their entry back into the United States. Global Entry is a program offered by the U.S. Global Entry: For the cosmopolitan ($100 for 5 Years)

For me, it's usually closer to 2 minutes: walk right up to the agent, show my ID, toss my bag on the belt, and I'm already on my way to grab an overpriced cappuccino. In April, 94% of TSA PreCheck passengers waited in line at the checkpoint for less than 5 minutes, which honestly seems a bit long from my experience over the last couple of years. When people decide to purchase one of these services, they often choose this one, as it is definitely the most known and most widely used, with a whopping 32 million members.Ĭlocking in at a little over $15 a year, TSA PreCheck is worth its weight in gold for those looking to get to their gate a little earlier. TSA PreCheck: For the domestic traveler ($78 for 5 Years) You simply walk up to an agent, follow their instructions, and provided you don't have a criminal record or red flags, you are approved instantly.

One major advantage of CLEAR Plus is that the approval process (which can be done at any of their checkpoints) is complete in a matter of moments. It's definitely a strange, hierarchical feeling - and not necessarily in a good way. Oh, and be ready for the people in the TSA lines to be glaring at you while the agent halts them so you can go through security. If you have TSA PreCheck on top of CLEAR, you will cut the TSA PreCheck line, but if you don't, you'll be in the regular line. CLEAR users have their own lane in which they stand in front of the aforementioned machine, have their irises scanned, and are escorted to the front of the security line. It often indicates a user profile.ĬLEAR Plus: For the elite ($189 Annually)ĬLEAR Plus is a privately-operated security program, unlike TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, which are programs run by the U.S. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
