Clear® Registered Traveler and Air France Open Online Enrollment for JFK Terminal 1.

 

NEW YORK – Clear and Air France announced today the opening of online enrollment for the Clear program at JFK Terminal 1.

 

Clear allows business travelers and other frequent fliers to pay a fee ($99.95) to be pre-screened by the TSA and receive a biometric identity card that provides them with expedited passage through airport security checkpoints. Clear is expected to open its lanes to JFK Terminal 1 passengers in March 2007. JFK Terminal 1 serves a dozen other airlines in addition to Air France. Any traveler who meets the minimum qualifications can enroll in the program no matter what airline they fly.

 

Applicants can begin the membership enrollment process at www.flyclear.com to use Clear at New York JFK International Airport Terminal 1, as well as at JFK Terminal 7, and San Jose, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and Orlando International Airports.
