More than 30 million passengers are expected to travel through its terminal’s between June and September this year
After a four-year break, Europe’s busiest airport, London Heathrow has resumed its paid-for fast track security service as it prepares for the busiest summer in its history.
According to a press statement by the airport, the service is available to pre-book for departures from June 1, and costs £-GBP 12.50 per person.
It adds that the fast track service is open daily between 06:00 and 22:00 across all the terminals in the airport, with customers able to select a one-hour window to pass through security. Pre-bookings can be made up until midday the day before travel.
Heathrow says it was relaunching the service ahead of what is expected to be the airport’s busiest ever summer, with more than 30 million passengers expected to travel through its terminal’s between June and September this year.
The airport stressed that a complimentary fast track service continues to be available for those with a business first Heathrow Express ticket, and for eligible frequent flyer card holders or passengers travelling in premium cabins.

The airport says that it is continuing with the trial of free pre-booked security slots for passengers departing with selected carriers from Terminal 3.
This trial runs alongside the reinstated fast track service and those booking the free slots use general security lanes via a designated access route to the security area.
“We are thrilled to bring back our fast track security booking service for all passengers ahead of the summer getaway. Fast Track offers a premium security experience, cutting down queue times, getting journeys off to smooth starts and giving passengers extra peace of mind ahead of their trips,” says Ross Baker, Chief Customer Officer, Heathrow Airport.
