Every single time I flew from Denver, the Clear line was SLOWER than the pre-check. (Everytime I take the person at the end of the clear line as reference and check where he is when I'm about to get through).
The TSA-pre line wraps around but goes super fast, almost walking pace. The clear line barely moves.
Clear has become a gimmick that makes you believe you are going through faster because the line is shorter.
- solardev 3y agoWere you looking at the Clear line for non-Precheck people, perhaps? (I can't remember if Denver had a separate line for that, but many airports do). I was in the Precheck line without Clear, and the Precheck + Clear people moved way faster to the head of the line I was in. (To be clear, there are two separate Clear lines in many airports, one for people with Precheck and one for people without it. So four lines total, normal/precheck/normal+clear/precheck+clear). ----- But regardless, sometimes one of the lines will be shorter than others. Sometimes regular is faster than Precheck too (but you'll have to take off shoes and take laptops out, etc.). Some entrances will also have shorter lines than others. But having both PreCheck + Clear means you can choose from any line you want. If the PreCheck line without Clear is faster, well then, just go in that and skip Clear this time.
- goalonetwo 3y agoNo, I'm specifically talking about the tsa-pre line without clear vs the tsa-pre line with clear. I know it is counter-intuitive because the clear line is so much smaller, but every single time it barely moves. Check yourself next time.
- solardev 3y agoI'll pay extra attention next time!
