"Trusted traveller" programs like Clear and TSA Pre-check are gaining more traction. Here are the pros and cons of the time-saving programs.

Just signed up for tsa pre check. It cost us $78 and that’s for 5 years. It was very simple some questions online then go to a place where they scan ID and take fingerprints and that’s all. Took about 5 minutes and was not really an interview. Got number in 2 days. Very quick.

Global Entry is wonderful. I passed 300 people in line at customs because of GE. You get Pre Check too all for $100 , good for five years. If you are traveling overseas it’s well worth the fee and a short interview.

Clear is definitely worth it if you travel frequently for work, the ability to leave later stress-free for the airport is great

Yea I travel 2-3 times a month and having both is golden!

I don’t mind getting their early and dealing with long lines…. After that mess …. It’s straight to the lounge for me lol

You still have to take off your shoes with Clear

Until they make something up 😂

[@cosmiccometchichi]

they failed to mention your credit score

[@المهديخاتلبالمجاري]

Clear basically is monetizing our rights.

[@cosmiccometchichi]

they also check your credit score why though is the question

I tend to not like the kind of people who say "time is money" it always comes off as an excuse for whatever they want to justify. I wish that phrase would go away.

either way you have to wait to get on the plane...
