If I had to guess, it's probably only staffed during events. Completing the enrollment takes a couple minutes, tops, so IMO I would just do it at the airport.

On mobile so hard to search the entire thread. Does anyone know if Clear has a location in LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal? The official website only mentioned terminal 1-7.

TWA884

TBIT is not listed; however, you can enter any terminal at LAX with a boarding pass for a flight departing from any terminal at LAX on the same day. You can use the CLEAR lane in Terminal 4 - AA - and then use the T4-TBIT connector near gate 41 to walk to to TBIT. It's a 5-7 minutes walk from the TSA security checkpoint.

TBIT is a PITA and always has a long line on the rare occasions when I am there. The best course - as noted by TWA884, is to use the T4 checkpoint and walk the connector. The walk is usually shorter than the TBIT line. The only hassle hear is that you will be walking back and forth if you have to check bags at TBIT.

Majuki

Unless you really want to make use of your Clear membership or get some additional walking exercise, the walk TBIT to T4 back to TBIT is unlikely to save much time.

This problem should disappear eventually after the construction of the consolidated checkpoint between TBIT and T4.

The Clear website incorrectly (and unhelpfully) says Clear is not available at SEA checkpoint 1 (which is also TSA Pre only). But Clear is indeed there and was open this morning.

I had a Clear membership a couple of years ago but had never finished the process of going to the airport to do the biometrics and the membership lapsed. I received an email offer to reactive the membership so I have just done this on the website for both me and my husband. It confirmed that I've reactivated, but there is no additional information about how/when I'm supposed to complete the activation. The Clear membership website is surprisingly sparse and basically just says that my membership will renew one year from now and shows my email address with a way to update my password.

I also have not received an email confirmation of the renewal. I never received a membership card initially and there is no membership number reflected in the account. What do I do now? Do I need an appointment at the airport to complete the registration? Do I just go there (MCO) anytime?

Zorak

Assuming all you need to do is complete biometrics etc. then you can do it at the airport whenever, e.g. just add 2-3 extra minutes to whenever you show up for your next flight. No appointment needed.

can you bring a guest through clear if traveling with a spouse/family?

I was checking out CLEAR at MDW. The agent approached me and convinced me to sign up. He had trouble getting my eye metrics.

A week later I used CLEAR - or tried to! The agent who helped me could not get it to work. Finally, after the machine failing to recognize my eyes and fingerprints after several tries, she asked for my name and birth date. The thing finally worked. Then, she tells me that I have been randomly selected for special screening. She took me to the TSA check in, and I had to give the agent my boarding pass and ID - including pulling down my mask.

In the long run, my TSA Pre-Check would have been much faster - and a lot less expensive.

Yesterday, I took advantage of my two-week grace period, and I cancelled my membership. Within minutes I received a message from my credit card company that my refund had cleared. I will say that the refund was as promised and quickly applied. I will give CLEAR credit for that!

Not at airport security checkpoints. CLEAR is an identification verification service. It uses biometrics to confirm the identity of its members. They can't do so for people whose biometrics they don't have on file.

Clear Sports members may bring one guest with them through the Clear Lane at stadium Clear locations.

At LAS Terminal 3, Clear needs to put some directional signage right next to the TSA Pre line entrance. I looked up and down the security area, didn't see any Clear kiosks, shrugged, and went to the TSA Pre podium. I asked the agent where the Clear is at and she pointed it's behind you. I completely missed the fact that the Clear kiosks were off to the left across from security. Not obvious IMO when you're making a beeline for security coming from the airline ticket counters.

Boraxo

Not 100% correct. You cannot bring any adults through the Clear lane who have not registered with Clear. However you can bring children <18 who are traveling on the same flight. I do it all the time.

TWA884

Kids under 18 are not subject to identity verification at TSA security checkpoints.

The OP specifically asked about a spouse.

Starman

Just out of curiosity, how does a kid under 18 provide identity verification? They are not required by TSA to carry any government issued ID when in the regular lanes.
