DENVER, July 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid the busy summer travel
season of 2023, Denver
International Airport (DEN) has partnered with CLEAR (NYSE: YOU),
the secure identity company, and Copenhagen Optimization to extend
the popular DEN Reserve powered by CLEAR program to
continue helping passengers save time at airport security. DEN
Reserve is a free service that allows all passengers to reserve a
dedicated time slot through DEN's Bridge TSA Security Checkpoint
for their party – giving them a more predictable and seamless
travel experience. For more information about DEN Reserve and to
make a reservation as early as three days before a flight, use the
free CLEAR app or visit Flydenver.com/DENreserve.
The DEN Reserve pilot launched at the beginning of June. In its
first few days at DEN, the program surpassed expectations with
nearly 100% of reservation windows booked every day and more than
4,900 bookings. This option has provided relief at the Bridge
Security Checkpoint and created a better experience for passengers.
DEN joins 17 other airport locations across the U.S.,
Canada and Europe that offer the appointment-based
system.
"We are always looking for innovative and fresh ways to serve
our passengers and improve their journey through our airport," said
DEN CEO Phil Washington.
"Travel demand is exceeding pre-pandemic levels and it is critical
we provide a variety of options for passengers to get to their
gates efficiently and timely. We're enhancing the Great Hall and
building two new security checkpoints, and DEN Reserve is yet
another way we're improving the passenger experience."
"Travelers can now save even more time by seamlessly reserving
their spot in the security line. It's as easy as making a
reservation for dinner," said CLEAR's EVP of Operations,
Kasra Moshkani. "CLEAR is
committed to making travel safer and easier and DEN has been an
incredible partner as we introduce new products that transform the
passenger experience together."
"DEN RESERVE is an innovation that puts the passenger first,
blending technology and operational expertise to bring real
benefits to the airport security experience for everyone. We're
delighted to be working with our great partners to offer this
virtual queuing program just in time for the busiest travel period
of 2023," said Kasper Hounsgaard, Co-CEO & founder of
Copenhagen Optimization.
To make a reservation with DEN Reserve, travelers must enter
their flight details and the number of people in their traveling
party to view available times. Once they arrive at DEN, travelers
should head to the Bridge TSA Security Checkpoint located on
the north end of Level 6 in the main terminal. There they will
access the security checkpoint lane designated for DEN RESERVE
passengers. After scanning a confirmation QR code with staff,
travelers can enter the dedicated security lane. DEN Reserve is
separate from CLEAR's opt-in airport membership, which is available
to DEN passengers traveling from the North and South security
checkpoints.
Passengers can reserve a time in any of the RESERVE
powered by CLEAR lanes across the U.S. using the
Home-to-Gate feature in the free CLEAR app. After downloading the
app, users can seamlessly find nearby CLEAR Lanes, gain expedited
entry to sports games and entertainment events, and use features
like Home-to-Gate to plan their trip to the airport.
For more than a decade, DEN and CLEAR have partnered to provide
frictionless and predictable experiences. CLEAR has operated its
signature expedited verification lanes at DEN since 2010, and
previously in 2022, CLEAR launched a pilot program at DEN that
allowed CLEAR members to pre-book checked luggage before arriving
at the airport, reducing congestion at terminal ticket counters and
saving passengers' time. CLEAR also operates expedited entry lanes
during games, concerts, and events at Denver's Coors
Field and Ball Arena.
