A Coruña–Alvedro Airport (LCG) is the city's main airport, in Galicia, in the north-west of Spain. It is a compact regional airport, but at busy times — early-morning departures to Madrid or Barcelona, Sunday-evening returns — the security queue can build up quickly. Fast Track, access to a priority security lane, moves you past that pinch point in a few minutes, with exactly the same statutory screening as the standard queue.
How Fast Track works at A Coruña
Fast Track at A Coruña is access to a dedicated security lane, separate from the general queue. The screening itself is identical (bag scanner, body scanner): only the waiting time changes. You book online, choose your date, and receive a QR voucher by email to show at the entrance to the priority lane.
At A Coruña, access starts at €11.10 per person. The exact price and availability are shown live for your date and time slot when you book.
Where to use the priority lane
Alvedro runs on a single passenger terminal with one security checkpoint. Distances are short and wayfinding is simple: you show your voucher at the priority lane at the security checkpoint, signposted on site. Because everything funnels through a single filter, the wait depends heavily on timing — a few closely spaced departures are enough to form a queue.
Check your flight time and arrive with the usual margin: Fast Track cuts the security wait, not the time needed for check-in or bag drop.
How much time you save
At the day's peaks — early morning, end of the weekend and during holidays — the standard queue at LCG can stretch further than you'd expect at a small airport. With the priority lane, the security check usually drops back to a few minutes. The gain is clearest on high-traffic days; off-peak, the standard queue may already be short.
Is Fast Track worth it at an airport like A Coruña
At a regional airport, people often assume there's never a wait. In practice, a single checkpoint concentrates every passenger: when two or three flights leave in the same time window, the queue climbs fast. Fast Track earns its keep on exactly those slots — early business departures, long weekends and school holidays. In a genuine off-peak lull, the benefit is smaller: judge it against your flight and how much queue risk you're willing to take.
Tips for your trip through LCG
- Book ahead: priority slots are limited in number at peak times.
- Keep your QR voucher available offline (a screenshot): the network can be congested at the airport.
- Target the tight slots: the payoff is greatest early morning and at the end of the weekend.
- Fast Track doesn't waive the security rules: liquids and electronics are presented as in the standard lane.
