“CLEAR’s partnership with United is focused on making travel easier and more predictable for MileagePlus members by delivering experiences that surprise and delight them throughout their journey,” said Howard Kass, CLEAR’s EVP of Corporate Affairs. “Here in Houston, we’ve hired more than 60 new CLEAR team members from the community and plan to hire another 20+ more so we can be a force multiplier for security, innovation and the customer experience from curb to gate and beyond.”

CLEAR is changing the way more than 4 million consumers experience the world by transforming the cards in their wallets into a single biometric ID. After a quick one-time enrollment, CLEAR members enjoy frictionless experiences at 60+ locations nationwide. At airports, members access security through a dedicated lane where they verify their identity with a tap of their finger or blink of an eye before continuing on to physical screening.

“Every day thousands of customers travel through our terminals at Houston George Bush Intercontinental, and our goal is to make it a positive experience. Expanding CLEAR lanes throughout our terminals is another example of United investing in the customer experience and specifically improving the day of travel experience,” said Rodney Cox, VP of Operations for United at Houston George Bush Intercontinental. “We look forward to continuing to partner with CLEAR and expand their presence here in Houston and other hubs throughout the country.”
