Experience Stress-Free Holiday Travel with CLEAR

The holiday season is often synonymous with travel chaos—long lines, delayed flights, and crowded airports. However, this year, CLEAR is changing the game with their newly upgraded app designed to enhance your travel experience from start to finish.

Unveiling the Upgraded CLEAR App

First and foremost, the revamped CLEAR app aims to provide travelers with a seamless transition from home to gate. The app now includes two new modes: Planning Mode and Travel Mode. In Planning Mode, users can schedule rides and receive personalized recommendations on when to head out based on real-time traffic conditions and their flight's arrival time. Once at the airport, the app transitions into Travel Mode, allowing you to quickly locate CLEAR lanes, estimate walking times to your gate, and even book the exclusive CLEAR Concierge service—all with an elegant and user-friendly interface. Additionally, Live Activities keep you updated with real-time notifications, making sure you never miss a beat during your travel.

Share Joy and Convenience with Holiday Gifts

To make holiday travels easier for all, CLEAR has introduced various gift options that allow users to share festive travel experiences. The CLEAR+ Gift Card lets you present friends and family with the joy of hassle-free travel throughout the year. Moreover, the Holiday Guest Passes offer CLEAR members the ability to provide up to five friends or family members with a smooth airport experience, completely free of stress. This single tap in the app grants your loved ones access to exclusive benefits, ensuring they can navigate through the holiday madness without troubles.

Exclusive Travel Offers

In addition to these features, CLEAR announced one of their best deals of the year. Starting on Travel Tuesday, December 1, and ending on December 3, new members can experience CLEAR+ for just $149, significantly lower than the regular price of $219. Existing members can also add family and friends to their membership for just $79 each. This exclusive deal is valid only in the CLEAR app, providing an easy way for travelers to secure their peace of mind during busy travel seasons. This means that even those who begin their journey with a Holiday Guest Pass can upgrade to a full membership, enhancing their travel experiences.

Anticipating Holiday Travel Patterns 2026

According to CLEAR, November 29 is expected to be the busiest travel day during the holiday season for CLEAR+ customers, with peak security waits anticipated between 5 AM and 7 AM, tapering off until around 6 PM. In preparation for the onslaught, their newly launched service at 63 airports nationwide, including major hubs like Indianapolis International and Tampa International, ensures that travelers have access to expedited lanes.

As we approach Christmas, expect heavy travel also on December 18, with significant crowds expected on the days immediately preceding the holiday. Sunday, December 27, is anticipated to be peak return day as well. Despite the crowds, travelers can ease their journey by utilizing CLEAR's services and technology to ensure a more pleasant experience.

Embracing a New Travel Era

Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO and Founder of CLEAR, states: "The holidays are amazing but holiday travel has become something to endure. Great holiday travel does exist, and it means knowing exactly when to leave to get to your gate on time." The mission of CLEAR is clear: create smarter, safer, and more enjoyable travel experiences for everyone. By leveraging technology, innovative services, and exclusive member offers, CLEAR transforms an often stressful travel period into an enjoyable and memorable journey.
