César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (ACE), serving Arrecife and the whole island, is Lanzarote's main gateway for holiday travellers. In high season and at departure peaks, the wait at the security checkpoint can build up quickly. Fast Track — access to a priority security lane — moves you past that bottleneck in minutes, with exactly the same regulatory screening as the standard queue.
How Fast Track works at Lanzarote Airport
Fast Track at Lanzarote gives you access to a dedicated security lane, separate from the general queue. The screening itself is identical (bag scanner, walk-through gate): only the waiting time changes. You book online, choose your flight date and receive a voucher with a QR code by email, which you present at the entrance to the priority lane.
At Lanzarote, access starts from €11.10 per person. The exact price and availability are shown live, based on your terminal and time slot, at the moment of booking.
Where to use the priority lane
At Lanzarote, Fast Track gives you access to the priority lane at the airport's main security checkpoint. You follow a dedicated lane, separate from the general queue, for exactly the same regulatory screening — only the waiting time changes.
The exact entry point is shown on your QR voucher: present it to the agent at the priority lane. Check your boarding pass to identify your flight's departure area, then follow the signage to the security checkpoint; if in doubt, airport staff will point you the right way. Fast Track cuts the wait at security; it does not replace check-in or bag drop, so keep a comfortable margin.
How much time you save
At peak times — early-morning departures, weekend charter rotations, school holidays — the standard queue at ACE can lengthen noticeably, especially when several flights leave in the same window. The priority lane usually brings your security check down to a few minutes. The benefit is clearest on the busiest days; in quiet periods, the gap with the standard queue narrows.
When Fast Track makes the biggest difference
Lanzarote runs on tourism: winter sun, long weekends and European school holidays, with arrivals and departures clustered into a handful of slots. Those are exactly the windows when the security checkpoint gets congested. If you are travelling with family, catching an early flight, or facing a tight connection on arrival in mainland Spain, Fast Track protects your timing and takes the last-minute stress out of the trip.
Staying connected during your trip
Beyond the priority lane, SkyEntry also offers eSIMs so you stay connected the moment you land, without hunting for wifi or swapping a physical SIM. Handy for ordering a taxi, opening your boarding pass or sharing photos from the island. Available plans are shown alongside the other services at booking.
Tips for your journey through ACE
- Book ahead: priority slots are limited at peak hours.
- Keep your QR voucher available offline (a screenshot): the network can be congested at the airport.
- Locate your departure area before you leave: your boarding pass and the airport signage lead you to the right security checkpoint.
- Fast Track does not exempt you from security rules: liquids and electronics are presented just as in the standard queue.
