Traveling with Kids Just Got Easier: Why I’m Excited About CLEAR Ambassador Assist
If you’ve ever traveled with kids, you know it’s not a vacation—it’s a trip (and sometimes an endurance sport). As a mom of three boys—ages 7, 4, and 2—getting through an airport with my sanity intact feels like winning a gold medal. Between wrangling luggage, navigating security, and breaking up sibling fights, the "getting there" part of family travel can feel like a marathon.
That’s why I’m beyond excited to try out CLEAR Ambassador Assist, a new service designed to make airport travel easier for families like ours. Let me tell you, this sounds like the VIP experience every mom deserves—even if we’re still rocking mystery stains on our sweaters.
What Is CLEAR Ambassador Assist?
Think of it as having your very own airport fairy godparent (minus the glitter). Exclusive to CLEAR Plus Members, this service pairs you with a CLEAR Ambassador who meets you curbside, helps with luggage, and guides you through the airport from start to finish.
There are two options:
Curb-to-Gate: The Ambassador takes you all the way to your gate (or lounge, if you’re feeling fancy), making stops along the way for snacks or potty breaks.
Curb-to-CLEAR: Perfect for those who just want help breezing through security via the CLEAR Plus Lane.
Why I Think Moms Will Love It
Picture this: You roll up to the airport, your toddler is melting down because you didn’t pack the right snack, and your preschooler is pretending he’s a ninja in the middle of the drop-off lane. Then, a friendly CLEAR Ambassador swoops in, helps with the luggage, and suddenly you feel like you might just make that flight after all. Especially if I was traveling without my husband, this would feel like the only way to navigate the luggage and the kiddos safely, truly a helping hand is needed.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer for moms:
Hands-Free Help: With three kids, my hands are already full—literally. Having someone else manage the suitcases is a lifesaver.
Smooth Security Check: No more juggling car seats, sippy cups, and laptops while trying to get everyone through security.
Stress-Free Navigation: CLEAR Ambassadors know the airport inside and out, so you can focus on keeping your kids entertained instead of deciphering terminal maps.
A Relatable Travel Moment
On a recent trip, my 4-year-old decided it was the perfect time to try out his new knock-knock jokes—loudly—while my 2-year-old was practicing his best "no nap today" protest. CLEAR Ambassador Assist would have been a game-changer that day, giving me a little extra breathing room to manage all the chaos.
How It Works
Booking the service is super simple (because we don’t need another thing on our to-do list):
Go to the CLEAR website and book your service at least 10 hours before your flight.
On the day of travel, your Ambassador will call to arrange where to meet.
They’ll meet you curbside, handle the luggage, and guide you through check-in and security.
If you opt for the Curb-to-Gate service, they’ll even accompany you to your final airport stop—whether it’s your gate, a lounge, or a snack stand for that all-important pre-flight bribery candy.
Why It’s Worth It
Airport days with kids are unpredictable at best, chaotic at worst. But with CLEAR Ambassador Assist, you get a little slice of calm in the middle of the madness. For moms like us, it’s not just a luxury—it’s a survival tool.
Starting on 1/13, they are offering special member pricing - for a limited time only. You'll be able to book Ambassador Assist at the price below for a limited time, so take advantage!
Curb-to-CLEAR: originally $49 now $24.50
Cub-to-GATE: originally $149 now $74.50
I can’t wait to try it out for myself on our next family trip to Maryland this summer to see my Grandparents. I know it’s going to make a world of difference, and I’ll be sure to report back with my experience. But in the meantime, if you’ve got a flight coming up, why not be the mom who breezes through the airport while everyone else looks on in envy?
Happy travels, mama—you’ve got this!
