What time do people usually get to Logan using clear? Just got it so not sure how to adjust my usual plans of getting to the airport 2 hours early. Flight is leaving this Wednesday at 7:20.

Depends on the time and terminal more than anything.

Last ~6 flights (Terminal B and C) I've never spent more than 10 minutes getting fully through security with pre-check. Might take a bit longer for the morning rush.

2 hours early and you'll be sitting at the gate for 90 minutes.

Yep, which may not be a bad thing if you have lounge access and like free beer.

My wife and I live next to the entrance of the sneaky separated "Express to Airport" part of the Pike and we average around 25 minutes Condo-to-Lounge.

So calling uber, getting in uber, getting to airport, through clear and pre-check and to the Lounge in 25 minutes on average.

Yup, about 30 minutes from Central Square to passing security for me, via uber with no checked bags or traffic disasters.

we once made it door to gate in 14 minutes and I've been chasing that high ever since. We didn't stop walking once we got out of the uber at logan.

Assuming no checked bags, I’m usually past security within 5 mins of drop off with clear + precheck. I tend to try to arrive 75-90 mins before and chill in the lounge for a bit.

In Terminal A - Clear has never had a line for me in the 34 flights Ive taken this year - and Pre check was maybe 12 people on average and often empty. I just used clear so I could use my eyeballs instead of needing to get ID out.
