I was running late for the airport the other day, what else is new, and was a bit stressed. Fortunately, there was no traffic on the way from NYC to LGA, but when I got to the airport it was line city, yuck. I HATE LINES
So I decided to pay the porter $5 at the curb to handle my bags and checked in without having to stand in coach class check in hell.
The next dilemma was getting through security, but fortunately I had my trusty Clear Card. One swipe of my right thumb print and I was identified and whisked to the front of the line, almost seemed unfair, but I was relieved that I did not have to anxiously wait with the huddled masses. I have used my Clear Card on a number of occasions and am hooked.
I only wish I could www.flyclear.com in more locations.
