With this summer promising to be one of the busiest for air travel on record, many travelers are looking to traveler programs, such as TSA PreCheck and Clear, to speed up security checks.
While both services are noted for saving time and stress in the airport security process, few know of another option available at some U.S. airports free of charge.
Say goodbye to long lines and hello to Reserve powered by Clear, allowing travelers to reserve a TSA security line time slot in advance and jump to the front for their designated slot. Though Clear charges for their services, Reserve powered by Clear is a completely free fast pass system.
