Travelers departing the San Antonio airport will soon have another way to get through security faster. A private program will allow travelers to be vetted once for all departing flights from participating airports.
It’s a new program just approved by Homeland Security called CLEAR, which allows those approved to jump to the front of the line at the TSA security check. CLEAR members still have to take off their shoes and go through security.
San Antonio International Airport is now an enrollment site for Global Entry, which allows passengers from international flights to be processed through Customs faster.
The new, one-stop service opened January 11.
San Antonio got the designation from U.S. Customs and Border Protection after its Global Entry kiosks installed last August were a hit.
