Airport Check-In: Registered Traveler Program Clear is Back

Some travelers will now be able to skip to the front of the line at security checkpoints at Orlando International Airport. In order to do that, travelers will have to sign up for Clear, a service which screens travelers before they arrive at the airport. When travelers sign up for the program, they pay a $179 fee and submit their fingerprints and iris scan. This information is then stored in Clear’s machines in airports in order to verify the identity of travelers. The service was operated for several years by Verified Identity Pass, though the company eventually declared bankruptcy and ceased operations. Travelers who had valid Clear memberships when Verified Identity Pass folded will be able to use the service for the remaining terms of their memberships.
