Traveling to MCO, Orlando International Airport, sometime soon? Us, too! When you get to the airport to catch your flight home, you’ll be greeted with a 45-minute wait to get through security. We had an early flight last week, and at 7 am the line for TSA was already a mile long. Luckily, I remembered that CLEAR is testing out their new CLEAR Reserve system at MCO! (and a few other select airports.) It’s incredibly easy to book, and did I mention it’s totally FREE right now? I reserved our spots right on my phone, it was super fast!
Three days before your flight, you’ll go to this website and select the airport you are traveling FROM. ( there are currently 6 major airports, including Orlando, that are eligible) From there, all you have to do is input your flight information, select the number of passengers, and reserve a time slot. Your time slot will be eligible 20 minutes early, and 20 minutes late, just to account for delays or early arrival at the airport! CLEAR will send you a confirmation email (see mine below) that will contain a QR code for you to present when you arrive.
The regular TSA line was posted at a 45-minute wait; with our CLEAR reservation, we waited about 5 minutes to have our I.D’s checked and went right through security in our own line. If you are traveling from Orlando, MCO the CLEAR Reserve line is located in the middle, right near the glass elevators for the Hyatt Hotel. There will be big green signs displayed at the entrance to the line where you will have your QR code scanned. It was so easy, and saved us SO much time!
