Hyatt San Fran Offering 'Fly Clear' Enrollment Kiosks

Where: 5 Embarcadero Center [map], San Francisco, ca, United States, 94111

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco has started to offer a Clear® Registered Traveler enrollment kiosk in its lobby. What is this? Well, Clear allows business travelers and other frequent flyers expedited passage through airport security checkpoints. Such travelers have to pay a $99.95 fee and have to be pre-screened by the TSA. Then they are given a biometric identity card that allows them to enter a Clear fast pass lane at one of the five airports with such a Clear fast pass lane.

San Jose International Airport, JFK Terminal 7, Orlando, Cincinnati and Indianapolis airports are the current airports featuring the Clear lane. SFO and and DC airports are expected to open some this summer. Another bonus: aside from going in through security faster, you can probably keep your shoes on.

So why is this enrollment center at the Hyatt? It turns out Hyatt has been partnering with Clear since last year offering complimentary memberships to Hyatt Gold Passport Diamond Members. But before you pop into the Hyatt in San Fran, you need to hit up the Clear website for some pre-enrollment stuff. The hotel's enrollment kiosk is open from 7am to 7pm now through Jun. 29.
