CLEAR at the airport

What people who have carried a CLEAR membership through repeat trips actually find: how much time it adds on top of TSA PreCheck, what the fee buys once the front of the line is reached, and when it stops earning its keep.

• Is CLEAR worth it at the airport? Worth it only if you fly a lot from big airports.
• How much time does CLEAR save compared to TSA PreCheck alone? Usually 5 to 15 minutes, sometimes more.
• What do CLEAR members wish they'd known before signing up? It's fast, but only where it's accepted.
• Do people keep both CLEAR and TSA PreCheck, or drop one? Most people keep both.
• How much is CLEAR? About $189 a year, plus a one-time $60 enrollment fee.
