Get to your gate faster with CLEAR

MileagePlus is partnering with CLEAR to help you breeze through security.

Let your eyes or fingertips get you through security faster thanks to our partnership with CLEAR®. Instead of using your ID to confirm your identity, CLEAR uses your biometrics to confirm it’s really you so you can walk straight to the security bins.

CLEAR is also available at more than 60 airports, stadiums and other venues across the U.S.

Get CLEAR



How it works

  1. Enroll in CLEAR before your trip. When you arrive at the airport, check in or check bags, then head to a CLEAR pod to complete enrollment.
  2. Use eye or fingerprint recognition to confirm it’s you and scan your boarding pass at the CLEAR pod.
  3. Bypass the line to show your photo ID and travel documents to a TSA agent and go straight to the security bins instead. If you have TSA Precheck, it works together with CLEAR so both parts of the security process are streamlined.
  4. Get to your gate with time to grab food, have a drink or relax before your flight.

Frequently asked questions

  • CLEAR is a biometric screening process that verifies your identity to get you through security faster. CLEAR can be used to get through security quickly at more than 30 airports, as well as stadiums and other venues throughout the U.S.

  • Biometrics are unique characteristics such as your face, fingerprints or eyes that can be used to identify an individual. With CLEAR, you can use your biometrics as your ID for fast entry at airports, stadiums and other venues nationwide.

  • CLEAR uses facial, iris, and fingerprint biometrics. Once you’re enrolled, a CLEAR Ambassador will help capture images of your face, iris and fingerprints at any CLEAR location.

  • CLEAR collects and stores your biometric information.

  • Securing data and protecting privacy is CLEAR's number one priority. CLEAR’s comprehensive information security program utilizes industry best practices with administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security, confidentiality or integrity of CLEAR systems and information. Such practices include, but are not limited to, encryption at rest and in transit, firewalls, multi-factor authentication, personnel security, privacy and security training, and intrusion detection and data leakage tools.

  • Existing CLEAR members will receive the MileagePlus member pricing on their upcoming CLEAR renewal by adding their MileagePlus number to their CLEAR account. If your CLEAR account was created or renewed within the last 60 days, you’ll receive a refund for the difference. Please allow 4-5 business days for refund processing.

  • New members can visit clearme.com/partner/united. Existing members can log in at my.clearme.com/mileageplus. You’ll be prompted to add your MileagePlus number.

  • CLEAR is currently available at 30+ airports to U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents and citizens of U.S. territories who are 18 and older with valid photo ID.

  • CLEAR and TSA Pre✓® are sold separately and it is not necessary to have TSA Pre✓® to use CLEAR. CLEAR speeds up the travel document check process, while TSA Pre✓® expedites the physical screening process. Many CLEAR members find that these two services complement each other, providing the quickest route through the entire airport security and screening experience.
