Quick summary

The security screening company Clear is launching a new premium airport concierge service for its members that could help get you through the airport even faster.

"Even the members who travel frequently are sometimes in need of an additional helping hand," Kyle McLaughlin, executive vice president of travel and aviation at Clear, told TPG in an interview. "We've unlocked the ability for members to book a Clear ambassador who can help them navigate the airport experience like a VIP."

Clear Plus is a secure identity membership program currently available at 59 U.S. airports, as well as stadiums and other large venues, with more than 31 million members across its platform.

The new service is aimed at giving members a VIP-esque experience. The New York-based company told TPG it would be available with two levels:

"Members can choose from two options: Concierge Express, where a dedicated CLEAR Ambassador meets you curbside and speeds you through the CLEAR+ Lane for a quick, stress-free start to your journey; and Concierge Gate Service, which includes all the benefits of Concierge Express, plus help with check in, bags, directions, and guidance all the way to your gate–perfect for traveling families or seniors."

The service is exclusively available to Clear members, but it will come with an additional fee.

A normal Clear membership costs $209 annually (though some credit cards cover the cost entirely or at a discounted rate). On top of that, Concierge Express is available for $99 per use and Concierge Gate Service is available for $179 per use. Children under 17 still can use Clear lanes for free, as long as they are traveling with an adult with a membership who paid for the concierge service.

To use the concierge service, you'll need to make a booking at: clearme.com/clear-concierge

"The ability to book a knowledgeable airport expert that is going to meet you curbside, help you get unloaded, help you navigate the check-in, can take you through the checkpoint or all the way to the lounge or the gate is a service that has mass opportunity," said McLaughlin.
