Time-saving express lane at security
Skip the queues with a quicker, more flexible route through security, whichever terminal you’re flying from. You can book a FastTrack pass up to an hour before you fly, allowing you to head straight through a dedicated security lane at the airport. FastTrack passes start from only £5.50 per person.
Nobody really enjoys waiting in long queues, especially if you don’t like standing for long periods or are travelling with small children. FastTrack helps you avoid having to wait in line so you can breeze through airport security and get to the departure lounge quicker. It’s ideal for solo or business travellers, families, and passengers travelling without checked-in luggage.
Security FastTrack is open from 03:00 until 23:00 at all terminals.
This service is ideal for families with children, passengers with mobility issues, business professionals and travellers with carry-on baggage.
