CLEAR Enhances Travel Experience in San Diego
CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the innovative secure identity company, is excited to announce that it has opened new CLEAR+ Lanes in Terminal 1 of San Diego International Airport. This expansion provides travelers in the area with a quicker and smoother process as they begin their journeys. Instead of searching for a wallet and identifications, CLEAR+ members can now enjoy dedicated lanes where they can easily verify their identities.
Seamless Verification Process
As members enter the CLEAR+ dedicated lane, they undergo quick identity verification. Following this, a CLEAR Ambassador personally escorts them through the CLEAR+ Lane directly to physical security checkpoints, ensuring minimal wait times and a smooth experience for each traveler.
A Commitment to Stress-Free Travel
“Travel should feel exciting, not stressful. We’re proud to expand at San Diego International Airport so even more members can enjoy a predictable, secure, and friction-free journey at Terminal 1,” said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. This sentiment echoes the general goal of the company to transform travel into a joyful and hassle-free experience.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
The grand opening of these CLEAR+ Lanes is not only beneficial for travelers but also significant for the local economy. This development is expected to create 21 new jobs, bringing CLEAR's employment total at the airport to 63 employees. With this expansion, CLEAR anticipates a positive annual economic impact exceeding $4 million within the San Diego community.
Wider Availability Across the Country
CLEAR+ first launched at San Diego International Airport in April 2022, initially in Terminal 2. Now, with the addition of services in Terminal 1, even more travelers can enjoy shorter lines, allowing them to spend extra time enjoying the journey ahead. CLEAR+ is now available at 59 airports nationwide, providing consistent benefits to its members.
Membership Perks and Access
The cost of CLEAR+ membership is approximately $17 a month when billed annually. Members can take advantage of discounts offered to Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Express members, active military personnel, veterans, and government officials, making this service more accessible for various travelers.
Introducing CLEAR Concierge Service
Moreover, CLEAR has recently launched a premium service called CLEAR Concierge at San Diego Airport. This service is designed to expedite airport processes for CLEAR+ members. Travelers can choose between two options: Concierge Express, where a dedicated Ambassador helps them from the curbside, or Concierge Gate Service, which combines all the benefits of the Express service with additional support for check-in, baggage handling, directions, and gate navigation. This service is especially beneficial for families traveling with children or elderly passengers who may need extra assistance.
