Delta Airlines has partnered with registered traveler vendor Clear to offer expedited security lanes at New York’s JFK and LaGuardia airports, and Los Angeles International, starting this summer.
The partnership also includes new enrollment centers in select Delta Crown Room Clubs in Atlanta that provide a way for customers to join Clear’s Fast Pass program. The partnership also will include a presence for Clear in Delta’s terminals, online at delta.com and through a direct marketing campaign to its SkyMiles members. All Delta SkyMiles members will be offered bonus miles when they join Clear.
Clear members are pre-screened by the Transportation Security Administration and after application approval, which involves providing iris and fingerprint images, receive a card that enables access to Clear’s designated security lanes across the country. Clear lanes are operating in airports in Cincinnati, Denver, Indianapolis, Orlando, San Francisco, and Washington DC’s Reagan National and Dulles airports, among others. The annual fee is $100 plus a $28 TSA fee.
