Express Lane

The Express Lane is a separate queue into Zone B Security, designed to enable passengers to reach the Security area quicker.

From the 22 September 2026, all passengers booking Express Lane will receive a new style confirmation email which will contain one QR code per booking and should be presented at the Express Lane entrance.

Express Lane Confirmation Example

All passengers that have booked Express Lane prior to 22 September will receive updated email confirmations on the Saturday before they travel.

Please note existing booking confirmation emails with individual QR codes per passenger are no longer valid.

There is no Express Lane to Security in Zone A; all customers with an Express Lane ticket should head to the security entrance at Zone B.
