Clear Registered Traveler Coming to DIA January 31!

It's official--I received an email from a Denver International Airport official today confirming that the Clear Registered Traveler lanes will be open at DIA on January 31:

Thank you for your previous inquiries related to implementation of the Registered Traveler Program at Denver International Airport. We are pleased to inform you that the program will officially begin at DIA on January 31, 2008. You may now begin the sign-up procedures by visiting www.flyclear.com to start the application and verification process.

After completing the online process, travelers must stop by an enrollment center to complete their application and verify their identity. There is an enrollment center located in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt hotel in downtown Denver at 1750 Welton Street and three enrollment centers located at Denver International Airport. The first enrollment center is located on level 5, near the entrance to the south security screening check point. Additional enrollment centers will open in January in the center core of both the A and B concourses. Personnel are available at the enrollment centers at DIA from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. At the enrollment centers, personnel from Clear will take your photograph, verify two forms of government-issued photo identification, and capture your fingerprint and iris images. Once approved, your Clear card will be mailed to you.

Denver International Airport plans to use dedicated lanes for Registered Traveler participants at both the south security check-point as well as at the security check-point located near the pedestrian bridge that leads to the A Concourse. RT at the north security checkpoint will follow soon.

Clear cards are currently accepted at Albany, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, LaGuardia, Little Rock, New York's JFK, Newark, Orlando, Reno, San Francisco, San José and Westchester County (NY) airports.

Denver International Airport is pleased to provide this service improvement for our frequent travelers. If you need any additional information, please visit our website at www.flydenver.com and click on 'Registered Traveler Program' under the Information Center.

I can't wait to be able to finally use my Clear card--and I plan on doing so on February 4th, when I head to New York. I'll be sure to post an entry about my experience. Congrats to DIA in taking the next step in making air travel more convenient for the business traveler!
