BIOMETRIC
SCREENING
BIOMETRIC SCREENING IS AVAILABLE AT
DCA THROUGH DELTA AIRLINES
Delta SkyMiles Members enrolled in CLEAR travelling through
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) will find out
what it’s like to traverse the screening process without ever
producing a boarding pass or printed ID. DCA is the testing site for
Delta’s biometric boarding pass experience. During Phase 1, eligible
Delta SkyMiles Members can do without a paper or mobile boarding
pass and hard copy ID in favor of using fingerprints as proof of
identity at the Delta Sky Club. Phase 2 would allow Delta SkyMiles
Members to use their fingerprints to check a bag, check in at the
Delta Sky Club and board a flight. The goal of the DCA pilot will be to
test how the Delta and CLEAR systems work together and help Delta
to bring a more convenient passenger experience to customers.
REAGAN NATIONAL
HOW IT WORKS
During the testing phase, eligible Delta customers with a SkyMiles
number and who are also enrolled in CLEAR are authorized for
the biometric boarding pass experience. CLEAR will then use both
biometric and SkyMiles information to identify customers at bag
drop, Delta Sky Club entry and boarding.
PHASE 1
Eligible Members can now use their fingerprints to enter the Delta
Sky Club only.
PHASE 2
Delta plans to expand passenger biometrics as identification to
Delta’s ticket counter work stations for bag drops, Delta Sky Club
desks for entrance verification, and at gates for boarding. With
biometric boarding pass technology powered by CLEAR at all of
these touch points, eligible Members would be able to navigate DCA
using only their fingerprints.
