Hey everyone! One of the co-founders of Teleport here. Would love to hear what you think about it and happy to answer your questions!

Saying "subscription" and also telling us a per-flight price is confusing to me. Reading the page didn't clear it up particularly quickly either.

What exactly is the price and what exactly does it buy me?

Can I buy access to the Teleport security line without taking a flight?

Hey, no unfortunately our lines are exclusive to Teleport members.

It's a monthly subscription. The price depends on how many flights you want. Each one-way flight is $105. E.g. So if you want four one-way flights per month it would be $420/month.

So basically just $105/single direction flight

Yes, but it sounds like you pre-pay, and I would guess the unused flights do not roll over.

That's right, it's a monthly subscription (you're billed monthly). Unused flights don't rollover. But if you know you're not going to use some flights in a given month, you can send them to family or friends for free.

Are there any guarantees for seats, or is it just whatever is available? Are there compensations for delays?

Considering that one-way flights at its cheapest are $49 + a negligible price for TSA-pre, is the value proposition the convenience of a subscription model + prices that aren't affected by seasonal trends (being able to book whenever with a consistent price)? Are there any hidden ones that I'm missing?
