Unlocking Fast Travel for Canadian Families: A Clear Advantage!
As parents, we know that travel can sometimes feel like a logistics nightmare, especially when you’re juggling kids, luggage, and a race against the clock at the airport. That’s why it's exciting to share that the new service, CLEAR+, is now available for Canadians, which can transform the airport experience from stressful to smooth.
What is CLEAR+ and Why Do You Need It?
This service is particularly beneficial for families heading to the U.S., enabling members to bypass the long TSA ID verification lines by leveraging biometric technology. Whether through facial recognition or fingerprints, CLEAR+ verifies your identity at dedicated kiosks, getting you to the security screening line faster. Honestly, on my first attempt with CLEAR+ at the San Francisco International Airport, I was through security in under 20 seconds! Just imagine the joy of skipping the long lines with your kids in tow.
Cost-Effective Options for Budget-Conscious Families
The annual fee for CLEAR+ is approximately US$209, but there are family options that may soften this financial blow. For an additional US$125 each, you can include up to three family members on your account, making it a viable option for families frequently traveling to the U.S. Even better, kids under 18 get to enjoy CLEAR+ for free! This setup can be a game-changer for parents looking to travel on a budget, allowing more adventure with less headache.
Combining CLEAR+ with NEXUS: The Ultimate Travel Hack
If you hold a NEXUS card, you’re automatically enrolled in TSA PreCheck, enabling even faster processing. With both CLEAR+ and TSA PreCheck, you get unparalleled benefits: skip the ID verification line entirely, head straight to the TSA PreCheck lane, and sail through without needing to remove shoes or separate liquids. It’s a dream come true that allows parents more time to focus on the fun bits of travel.
Beyond the Airport: CLEAR+ and Event Access
But wait, there’s more! Families attending concerts or sporting events can also utilize CLEAR+ at over 100 stadiums and arenas across the U.S. Forget the mad rush of standing in line to get through security, you can stroll right to the front with your family, enhancing your experience at the event. Imagine skipping the grumpy moods due to long wait times—now that's a perk!
There's Still a Way to Get It for Free!
You might be wondering how to make this golden service affordable, or even free! Some credit cards offer perks that include discounted or even complimentary CLEAR+ memberships. For instance, certain American Express cards have promotional offers that’ll allow you to enjoy all CLEAR+ benefits at no cost. It’s worth checking your existing card’s benefits or considering opening one that provides such perks.
