Skip the airport security line with this hack❗️✈️

Pirates, endless waiting before the security check could be a thing of the past. Airports are working on new concepts to create a smoother experience.

We've checked where you can pre-book your place in the queue for FREE! 👇

Pirates, you can now skip some of the security lines at London Heathrow with a pre-booked slot, which you can reserve for FREE. 🙌

How come? Airports are looking for systems that make the passenger flow as easy as possible. There are paid programmes out there such as TSA PreCheck and Clear -- these have been around in the US for a while. Clear's free version called "Reserve" has made it to the UK and Europe now!

Read more about how Clear works explained by our American colleagues here.
