The newish RESERVE powered by CLEAR program builds on CLEAR’s network of free spot saving offerings that allow all passengers to avoid unpredictable long lines with a dedicated spot in the security line. This improves the checkpoint experience, minimizes peak travel periods at airports, reduces wait times, and creates a better experience for all travelers.
Anthony’s Take: If you’re traveling though these airports in the US and don’t have CLEAR Plus this could be a good solution. This could be a time-saving alternative internationally, where the service is not offered.
