CLEAR Launches Expedited Lanes at Puerto Rico Airport
CLEAR has announced the launch of its secure identity technology at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU), which is operated by Aerostar Airport Holdings.
SJU is the first airport outside the continental United States to feature CLEAR’s signature expedited identity verification lanes. This launch represents continued growth in CLEAR’s footprint, where it serves a total of 46 airports and boasts more than 14 Million members.
CLEAR already serves 8 of SJU’s top 10 U.S. destinations, allowing members traveling through SJU to use CLEAR on both ends of their journey.
Members use CLEAR’s network of dedicated lanes to verify their identity with their eyes or fingers, replacing the need to take out their wallet and driver’s license. After verification, a CLEAR Ambassador escorts members through the dedicated lane and directly to TSA physical security, reducing the amount of time spent waiting in line at the security checkpoint. Enrollment takes less than five minutes.
“CLEAR is excited to bring our secure identity technology to Puerto Rico, create good-paying local jobs and invest in the local economy,” said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker. “Aerostar has been a great partner, and we’re pleased to work together to create a more predictable, less stressful airport experience for people traveling through SJU.”
CLEAR Plus – an opt-in membership that provides access to CLEAR’s expedited security lanes – now costs $189 per year. There are discounts available for Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Express members. Newly enrolling active military, veterans, and government officials are also eligible for discounted memberships, and additional family members can be added to an existing CLEAR Plus account for just $60 per adult per year.

At around noon today the new SJU Clear checkpoint was fully staffed by super friendly employees, but unfortunately the regular Precheck line was much, much, much faster. Around a dozen people passed through the regular Precheck line in the same time two people went through Clear then joined them at the X-ray/metal detector. Hopefully it’s just growing pains, but reminded me a lot of ATL where the Clear employees frequently direct members to the non-Clear lines for a faster screening.
