For most of us, when we get to an airport, we want to get checked in and through security as quickly as possible, especially if you have children with you! If this is you, then luckily, some of the UK’s main airports offer a service to get you through the hassle as fast as possible so you can start enjoying your holiday.
Fast tracks give passengers access to a dedicated lane at security and passport control allowing them to save time.
