CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — We now have a new option at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport to help us avoid the long lines at the security checkpoint.
An eagle-eyed traveler noticed signage up at the airport that CLEAR was coming soon. It's now here.
CLEAR is a membership that gives you quick entry at more than 50 airports across the country without waiting in line to show your ID at airport security.
According to their website, to utilize CLEAR, you head to a CLEAR pod at the airport to scan your boarding pass and eyes or fingerprints and you will be escorted to the front of the security line for screening.
Simply step up to a CLEAR Pod at the airport where you’ll scan your boarding pass and eyes or fingerprints, and an Ambassador will escort you to the front of the security line for your screening.
You do have to sign up for a membership, and the cost is $189 per year.
