New Joint-Marketing Deal Brings Clear’s Benefits to Travelocity Business
Corporate Accounts

NEW YORK, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Clear(R), the fast pass for airport
security, and Travelocity Business(R), one of the business travel
industry’s fastest growing travel management companies, today announced a
marketing agreement that offers Clear to Travelocity Business’ clients.

Travelocity Business, launched only five years ago, now ranks among
North America’s top travel agencies with more than $800 million in annual
travel spend under management.

Clear, which recently celebrated its third anniversary, has established
other high-profile marketing partnerships including those with Delta Air
Lines and Marriott Hotels. In 2008 alone, Clear has performed more than 75
on-site, bulk enrollments at company office buildings including
corporations, law firms and government offices. This on-site service offers
enrollment for Clear right in the workplace, making applying for the Clear
card easy and convenient.

Allison Beer, Clear’s SVP of Corporate Development said, “This
relationship is right on track to help Clear navigate through the corporate
travel community, with Travelocity Business’ vast reach leading the way.”
She added, “We’re delighted about our affiliation with Travelocity, one of
America’s best-known travel brands, and its increasingly successful
business travel agency.”

“Clear’s focus on lessening the hassle factor for travelers resonates
across our client base,” said DeAnne Dale, Vice President of Sales and
Account Management for Travelocity Business. “This relationship will only
increase in value as Clear adds more airports to its program in the months
and years ahead.”

Clear members are pre-screened and, after application completion which
involves providing iris and fingerprint images, receive a card that allows
access to Clear’s security lanes nationwide. Clear lanes, which feature
concierge staff whose assistance speeds throughput while making passage
through security more hassle-free, are already operating in airports in
Cincinnati, Denver, Indianapolis, Orlando, San Francisco, and Washington
DC’s Reagan National and Dulles airports, among others.

Clear customers experience a level of predictability, convenience, and
efficiency in air travel. For example, the concierge staff in Clear’s
security lanes ready x-ray bins for each passenger and then help them
retrieve their personal items at the other side of the magnetometer.

Clear was recently chosen by Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International
Airport to operate a program there. Clear’s fast lanes are expected to open
this month.

Applicants start the membership enrollment process at http://www.flyclear.com
and complete it in person at a Clear enrollment center, where they have
their fingerprints and iris images captured. Clear enrollment centers are
located in airports with Clear programs and also at convenient city
locations, including New York’s Grand Central Terminal. To locate a Clear
enrollment station nationwide, customers can visit flyclear.com.
