Forums Payment cards American Express How many airports offer Platinum fast track?

  • 24 posts

    I’ve noticed on a few business trips recently (Nordics, Italy) when going through fast track there were banners saying AMEX Platinum card holders can use the lane.

    I can’t seem to find any information on this, does anyone know if AMEX have a list of airports where this is available? I’m almost positive this is not listed as a benefit on their website.

    You will probably find that this is restricted to Nordic issued Platinum cards – same that the various Mastercard airport lounges around Europe are only for local cardholders (and indeed how benefits like Eurostar lounge access are also for UK / French / Belgian Plats).

    A shame this doesn’t seem to be offered at LHR/LGW for UK holders. Think that would finally be enough to persuade me to abandon BA and start using EasyJet for work flights following the changes to EC.

    Surprisingly Stockholm (ARN) fast track isn’t restricted. I was able to go through without issue last May. The restaurant-style AMEX lounge at the airport is second to none too.

    Am I dreaming or did we have a thread on this around 2022?

    Were you not restricted for the restaurant/lounge place? In Helsinki at least they had very clear signage saying it was Nordic only.

    Been able to use the UK issues amex platinum in Madrid for fast track multiple times. Although the T&C does say Spanish issued ones, never had a problem.

    Can also confirm having no issues at ARN yesterday and the ‘lounge’ is very good. The bus transfer also easy to T2 if flying with BA.
