  The Lloyds/Halifax World Elite Mastercards also include unlimited free DragonPass fast track security passes.

  Bologna airport (BLQ) has its lounge landside and everyone who accesses the lounge whether by paid entry, lounge card or airline access is able to use fast track. Most of the time there’s a dedicated security channel from the lounge but if it’s closed for some reason you can use the fast track in the main security area (when you scan your boarding pass in the lounge it updates their system to show fast track eligible)

  My barber / hairdresser has introduced an optional ‘skip-the-line’ fee…
  But they’ve limited the sale to only a few per day.

  I wonder if the same will eventually be needed at airports with the paid-for fast track passes.

    I can pre-book mine for an extra £5 (and if I pay in advance) but never found more than a 5-10 minute wait wandering in.

  Does Dubai even have fast track? I’m sure there’s nothing at the BA terminal and the EK one has an entire dedicated wing. Never been to T2.

    I was just going to say the same, if DXB Terminal 1 has a security fast track it is news to me. It really is the low point of any trip through that terminal.

      You can pay for various arrival, departure or transit fast track packages at DXB T1. I did this recently when arriving from CDG. Booked a basic type arrival package, lady waiting for me at entrance to immigration hall, escorted to the front, through in a couple of minutes. Never done departure but have seen people getting escorted to the front so would expect a similar experience to arrivals.

    Was thinking this. If you get the proper arrival or departure service that’s pretty good.

    They are fast in all terminals at Dubai Airport.

  I’ve been making use of my free passes via HSBC Premier MC at NCL, where the regular security line is now so efficient that the fast track is actually slower if there are more than a couple of people in the queue. Certainly not worth paying for!

  On the subject of DragonPass – I just signed up and it’s offered me free £15 credit at half a dozen airport restaurants. Is this for everyone?!

    Also have this on the DragonPass app! I guess it’s a generic discount offer.

      If you look at the T’s and C’s I believe the £15 food and drink voucher is to use instead of the seat in the lounge. You can’t have both on the same day apparently. I think some of the lounges are getting so full they hope that this will offer an alternative and lighten the load.

        We recently returned to LGW from Sicily. The lounge at Catania has 35 seats and, not only was it full when we first got there, by the time I went back to collect our second drinks, the queue filled the area at the top of the stairs. I’d read about the lounge beforehand and can see why it gets a ‘rating’ of 1.3 (out of 5, but could easily have been out of 10!). Still, they let me in to get drinks, which we endured (yes!) downstairs in the open seating.

    I opted to use mine at Giraffe at T5 recently for a full English and was a welcome difference from the lounge

      Did you have to buy the voucher or anything? I’m with Barclays premier and I get the app membership, but have to pay £20.5 for a lounge pass. I’m confused why they’re giving these free £15 vouchers!
