Customer Service Really Shouldn’t Be This Hard
We’ve all had frustrating customer service experiences, sometimes almost daily. In this case, I likely wouldn’t have given it a second thought, and it almost certainly wouldn’t have ended up on the blog. But, my feeble mind forgot that I had already dealt with the issue I was being excluded for.
I’m A Member Of CLEAR Again

CLEAR Picking Up A Bit Of Steam? Adds San Jose, Second New Airport In Roughly 30 Days

CLEAR Lanes at Denver Airport Now Integrated With Pre-Check
I’ve written in the past about my fondness for both CLEAR and TSA Pre-Check. There are plenty frequent travelers who feel otherwise. Since I don’t see either of these systems going anywhere anytime soon, I’m always happy when they expand or enhance their offerings….
3 Free Months of Expedited Security And CLEAR coming to DFW
I received notification that CLEAR is now active at DFW airport. While it’s a small list, it now includes DEN, MCO, SFO and DFW. I wrote about the benefits of both CLEAR and TSA Pre-Check recently, and I still think both have their own…
