Navigating airport security can be a breeze with the right programs. Clear and TSA PreCheck offer expedited screening, but which is best for you?
Let's get into it!
Clear vs TSA PreCheck
TSA PreCheck grants access to expedited screening lanes and allows you to keep shoes, belts, and light jackets on, ideal for frequent travelers seeking efficiency. The cost for TSA PreCheck is $85 for five years.
Clear provides a fast lane through security, utilizing biometric technology like fingerprint or eye scans to verify your identity. It's perfect for those who value speed and convenience, especially in busy airports. The cost for Clear is $179 annually.
But it's important to note these services are ONLY available to use on domestic flights!
Global Entry
For international travelers, Global Entry is a game-changer. Offering TSA PreCheck perks alongside expedited customs clearance upon U.S. re-entry, it's a must-have for seamless journeys. With an easy application process and a nominal $100 fee for five years, Global Entry is essential for those prioritizing hassle-free travel.
Mobile Passport Control
Another valuable option is Mobile Passport Control, a free app enabling U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors to digitally submit their passport and customs declaration form. Ideal for travelers with tight connections upon returning to the US, it provides a swift alternative to traditional customs processing, especially beneficial for those without Global Entry.
Whether you opt for Clear, TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, or Mobile Passport Control, smoother airport experiences await.
