Developed by Copenhagen Optimization and CLEAR, Program Allows Travelers to Reserve a Security Control Time Slot for a More Predictable Travel Experience.
BER Becomes First European Airport to Introduce Virtual Queuing Solution; Program Marks CLEAR’s First Expansion into Europe.
Berlin, Germany – Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), Copenhagen Optimization, and CLEAR (NYSE: YOU) today announced the launch of a free virtual queuing program, called “BER Runway.” Developed by Copenhagen Optimization and CLEAR, BER Runway allows travelers to plan ahead and reserve a dedicated security time slot for their party – giving them a more predictable and stress-free travel experience. With the launch, BER becomes the first European airport to implement the virtual queuing solution; the program also marks CLEAR’s entry into Europe.
How It Works:
- Reserve: To use the free BER Runway lane, just visit the dedicated website where you can enter your flight details, the size of your party, and find a reservation time that works for you.
- Confirm: Once you select your reservation time, finish booking by entering your email, and confirming your details. You’ll receive a confirmation email and QR code.
- Go: When you arrive in Terminal 1, look for signs pointing to the BER Runway lane. Scan your QR code and enjoy the fast lane right to security.
Reservations can be made online up to 72 hours in advance of a flight’s scheduled departure. Reservation times are available based on the passenger’s selected flight; slots are available starting at least 60 minutes before Schengen flights and at least 90 minutes before non-Schengen flights. The dedicated BER Runway security lane is open between 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
BER Runway is part of Copenhagen Optimization and CLEAR’s “Reserve powered by CLEAR” portfolio of virtual queuing programs. Today’s launch marks the first European airport and the eighth airport globally to offer the virtual queuing solution. Other airports include Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Orlando International Airport (MCO), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA), and Calgary International Airport (YYC).
