The Secret Way to Bypass Security Lines at Some of Europe’s Busiest Airports
05.10.2023 - 20:08 / afar.com / John F.Kennedy
As another crazy summer of travel to Europe came to a close, Americans once again put their seemingly insatiable appetite for Europe travel on full display this year. Heading into the busy holiday season, airlines and airports in Europe are still struggling with staffing shortages and on-and-off-again worker strikes, meaning that lines and wait times at Europe’s airports will likely continue to be pretty long well into the holidays and beyond.
Thankfully, there’s a new option for getting past lengthy security lines at some major Europe airports—and it’s absolutely free.
In the USA, travelers with TSA PreCheck (a security expediting service that costs $78 for a five-year membership and $70 to renew) can access typically shorter and faster dedicated lines. But when we’re across the pond, TSA PreCheck does diddly-squat for us. Last year, however, Clear (another U.S.-based security expediting platform that costs $189 per year) acquired virtual queuing company Whyline and has since partnered with airports in North America and Europe to develop a security line reservation system called Reserve by Clear. It allows travelers to schedule a security line time slot in advance and jump to the front of the line during that window. And while Clear membership costs money, making one of these advance security line reservations does not.
As we’ve reported, the service is already available at several airports in the United States and Canada, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City (JFK), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA). It’s also available at a growing number of airports in Europe, including most recently at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Reserve by Clear is now available at the following airports in Europe:

The Reserve by Clear service at Europe airports isn’t always available for flights to the United States.
When asked about which flights include access to Reserve by Clear, a Clear spokesperson told AFAR that each airport has full discretion over which security checkpoints can be accessed with Reserve by Clear “and therefore, which flights or gates are accessible via a Reserve lane.”
According to the Clear spokesperson, “We are always working with our airport partners to expand the program to serve more travelers.”
Thus, as the program is continuing to grow and expand, it’s worth checking to see if your flight from Europe to the United States does have access. Even if it doesn’t have it now, by the time you fly, your flight may have been added to
