Birmingham Airport offers a limited Express Lane service for access through security. This service can only be purchased through the official Birmingham Airport website, or through certain airline partners.
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.
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 Please note existing booking confirmation emails with individual QR codes per passenger are no longer valid.
Customers who cannot find the time slot they need are advised that this means it is fully booked for that time slot.
Express Lane can only be booked through Birmingham Airport’s website here, not through third party companies. Companies such as, but not limited to, MyTripOnline, fasttrack.flights, Travibly, Uptrip.co or FlyBirmingham that claim to sell Express Lane for Birmingham Airport are not valid for use at the airport.

Please note Premium Arrivals Fast Track is a service for arriving passengers to Birmingham Airport. This allows passengers to gain faster access to Passport Control at the UK Border Force checkpoint.
