Can I use Clear for international flights?

Enhanced International Travel with Clear and Global Entry

Navigating international flights can be time-consuming, particularly at security checkpoints. Fortunately, Clear and Global Entry offer innovative solutions to streamline this process, making your travels both efficient and stress-free.

Clear: Expedited Security Screening Worldwide

Clear is a biometric verification service that enables members to move seamlessly through airport security checkpoints. By enrolling in Clear’s program, travelers can submit their passport and biometric data, including fingerprints and a photograph. On subsequent visits to Clear-enabled airports, members can skip the regular security lines and use dedicated Clear lanes instead.

The advantage of Clear extends beyond domestic flights. Several international airports now offer Clear lanes, including:

• London Heathrow (LHR)
• Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
• Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
• Dublin Airport (DUB)

With Clear, travelers can save valuable time and avoid the hassle of long security queues, regardless of their destination.

Global Entry: Swift Re-Entry into the U.S.

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program designed to expedite the re-entry process for pre-approved, low-risk travelers. To become a Global Entry member, applicants must undergo a rigorous screening process, including background checks and an interview.

Upon approval, Global Entry members can use automated kiosks at designated U.S. airports to electronically declare customs and immigration information. This eliminates the need to wait in lengthy lines and allows travelers to proceed directly to baggage claim.

While Global Entry is primarily intended for re-entry into the U.S., it also offers benefits for international travel. For example, Global Entry members can use dedicated lanes at TSA PreCheck checkpoints, further streamlining their travel experience.

Combined Benefits for Enhanced International Travel

For travelers who frequently fly internationally and re-enter the U.S., combining Clear and Global Entry can provide exceptional benefits. Clear allows for faster and smoother security screening, while Global Entry expedites re-entry customs and immigration procedures.

By utilizing both programs, travelers can create a seamless travel experience that minimizes wait times and maximizes their time spent enjoying their destination.
