What Is The Difference Between CLEAR and CLEAR+?<\/span><\/h2>\n
CLEAR is an identity verification platform that provides expedited security screening at airports, stadiums, and arenas. A free CLEAR membership grants fast access to sports and events, allowing you to use designated CLEAR lanes at stadiums, venues, and arenas.<\/p>\n
Using CLEAR Sports & Events typically helps you reach your seat faster for concerts, games, and other events. All you need is the free CLEAR app on your phone. At an eligible venue, you can log in or enroll by taking a quick selfie. You\u2019ll then receive a QR code to show the ambassador in the CLEAR lane.<\/p>\n
CLEAR+ is an upgraded paid membership that allows travelers to skip to the front of TSA security lines at eligible airports. It verifies a member's identity using biometric data, such as fingerprints or eye scans. Once verified, a CLEAR ambassador escorts the traveler to the front of the TSA line where, in most cases, they won't need to show an ID.<\/p>\n
While a CLEAR+ membership includes access to Sports & Events, free CLEAR members cannot use expedited airport lines unless they upgrade to the paid membership.<\/p>\n

When you arrive at the entrance to the CLEAR+ lane, a representative will first check your boarding pass and ask whether you're a CLEAR+ member. Next, the representative will direct you to either a CLEAR pod for biometric authentication via your fingerprint or eye scan, or an eGate where facial recognition will be used instead.<\/p>\n
Once you've been verified at the kiosk, the representative will bring you to the front of the TSA line, skipping past the rest of the checkpoint line if there is one. If you're enrolled in TSA PreCheck, you'll be brought to the front of that line. Otherwise, you'll go to the front of the general security line.<\/p>\n
