Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles members will
receive preferential pricing on a CLEAR Plus membership
MAUI,
Hawaii, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR
(NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced it is
launching its signature identity verification technology tomorrow
at Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui to streamline the airport's security
screening experience. CLEAR's launch at OGG is expected to create
33 jobs and generate approximately $2.1
million annually in local economic impact.
Tomorrow's launch represents continued growth in CLEAR's
national footprint, where it serves a total of 57 airports with its
opt-in CLEAR Plus membership and over 20 million Members. Members
use CLEAR's network of dedicated lanes to seamlessly and securely
verify their identity with their eyes or fingerprint, replacing the
need to take out their wallet and driver's license. After
verification, a CLEAR Ambassador escorts Members through the
dedicated lane and directly to TSA physical security, saving them
time waiting in line at the security checkpoint.
"The addition of CLEAR to our airport system, starting with
Kahului Airport, will provide frequent travelers with an option to
help make the security screening experience faster and more
efficient," said Ed Sniffen,
director of the Hawaii Department of Transportation.
CLEAR expects to also launch its signature identity verification
technology at Honolulu's Daniel K.
Inouye International Airport (HNL) in the coming weeks.
"CLEAR is thrilled to be in Maui and bring frictionless, predictable
travel to Maui residents. In
addition to bringing jobs and investment to the Island, we are
proud to continue our support of rebuilding efforts through
the Hawai'i Community Foundation," said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker.
In addition, CLEAR rolled out a strategic collaboration with
Hawaiian Airlines to offer its HawaiianMiles members discounted
CLEAR Plus membership.
Starting tomorrow, HawaiianMiles members will receive
preferential pricing on an annual CLEAR Plus membership, allowing
them to move faster through security at OGG and 56 other airports
nationwide. Hawaiian Airlines and CLEAR are offering Pualani
Platinum, Pualani Gold, and Premier
Club members a preferred membership rate of $149, and HawaiianMiles members a preferred rate
of $179. Pualani Platinum members who
have flown over 75,000 flight miles will receive a complimentary
annual CLEAR Plus membership. CLEAR already operates its signature
CLEAR Plus identity verification lanes in 13 of Hawaiian Airlines'
15 North American destinations. For more information, visit

"As Hawaii's hometown carrier, we are pleased to partner
with CLEAR to offer our loyal members preferential CLEAR Plus
pricing to make their travel on Hawaiian Airlines even more
effortless," said Bryan Kapeckas,
managing director of loyalty and travel products at Hawaiian
Airlines.
"CLEAR is obsessed with the customer experience and excited to
bring HawaiianMiles Members the predictability of CLEAR Plus,"
said Kyle McLaughlin EVP of Aviation at CLEAR.
Those who opt-in to CLEAR Plus can add up to three family
members or friends to their account for $99 each. Family members under 18 years old can
always join you in the CLEAR Lane for free. Beyond the airport,
CLEAR members can seamlessly affirm their identity for free
wherever life takes them – whether they're checking into a hotel,
visiting the doctor, renting a car, or cheering on their favorite
sports team.
