Is CLEAR at FSD?
No — Sioux Falls (FSD) does not have a CLEAR lane right now. CLEAR operates at more than 60 U.S. airports, but FSD is not one of them, so a CLEAR Plus membership will not speed you up here. The lane that does cut your FSD wait is TSA PreCheck — here is how to use it, and how the three programs compare.
Is CLEAR at FSD right now?
No — there is no CLEAR lane at FSD today. CLEAR runs at 60-plus U.S. airports, and Sioux Fallsis not on that list, so a CLEAR Plus membership earns you nothing here. Don’t pay for it on FSD’s account alone. We update this page if CLEAR opens a lane at FSD — the current airport list is at clearme.com.
The nearest airports with a CLEAR lane
If you already carry CLEAR Plus — or you are deciding whether to — these are the closest airports to Sioux Falls where the membership actually works:
| Airport | From FSD |
|---|---|
| CLEAR at MSP — Minneapolis, MN | 196 mi |
| CLEAR at MCI — Kansas City, MO | 314 mi |
| CLEAR at MKE — Milwaukee, WI | 447 mi |
Straight-line distances. A CLEAR Plus membership works at every CLEAR airport, so it can still pay off if your trips route through one of these.
What gets you through FSD security faster instead
The lane that actually cuts your FSD wait is TSA PreCheck at FSD — the lighter screening where you keep your shoes, belt, and laptop packed. See how big the gap is on the live FSD TSA wait times board, where the standard wait is about 25 minutes and the PreCheck wait is about 9 minutes right now.
CLEAR, PreCheck, or Global Entry at FSD?
Three programs speed you up in different ways — and the first two stack. Here is the quick version:
| Program | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| TSA PreCheck | $76.75–$855 years | Most U.S. domestic flyers |
| Global Entry | $1205 years | International travelers (best value — it includes PreCheck) |
| CLEAR Plus | $209per year | Frequent flyers at CLEAR airports |

How CLEAR changes your Leave-By Time
A faster ID check only helps if it shortens the line you are actually in. Rather than guess, set your Leave-By Time: it folds the live FSD security wait, your drive with traffic, and the walk to your gate into one exact time to leave home — so you know when to leave today, not a rule of thumb.

Common questions about CLEAR at FSD
Is CLEAR at FSD?
No — FSD does not have a CLEAR lane right now. CLEAR runs at more than 60 U.S. airports, but Sioux Falls is not one of them, so a CLEAR Plus membership will not speed you up here. The nearest airports with CLEAR lanes are MSP (196 miles away), MCI (314 miles away), MKE (447 miles away).
What gets me through FSD security faster instead?
TSA PreCheck is the one to get at FSD: it is the lighter screening lane where you keep your shoes, belt, and laptop packed. Check the live FSD wait to see the PreCheck-vs-standard gap before you leave.
Will CLEAR come to FSD?
CLEAR keeps adding airports, so FSD could get a lane later — but plan around what is there today. We update this page when CLEAR opens at FSD.
Is a CLEAR membership still useful if I fly through FSD?
Only if you also fly through CLEAR airports. A CLEAR Plus membership works network-wide, so it can still pay off if FSD is just one stop on trips that also touch CLEAR hubs.
