CLEAR announced today that they have opened lanes at five new airports as well as expanded at Newark Liberty International Airport. As a CLEAR member I am always excited to see them expand their network as it is, in my opinion, the easiest way to conquer airport security!
You can now find clear lanes at the following airports:
-
San Juan, Puerto Rico (SJU)
-
Boise, ID (BOI)
-
Oklahoma City, OK (OKC)
-
Raleigh-Durham, NC (RDU)
-
Long Beach, CA (LGB)
In addition to these new locations, CLEAR has expanded to Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
This means that travelers now can use CLEAR Lanes in 45 cities across the country at airports and a variety of sports arenas including Coors Field in Denver and DKR Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin!
CLEAR X Avis
CLEAR also announced a partnership with Avis where members can save up to 25{8b14d723594d2ce39adb5c5b0df3c5dc1d9307ef827124bac2021c88e4a2ebb6} off of base rates and 35{8b14d723594d2ce39adb5c5b0df3c5dc1d9307ef827124bac2021c88e4a2ebb6} off Pay Now rates.
