Gran Canaria Airport (LPA) is the main gateway to the Canary Islands and one of the busiest airports in Spain, mixing international holiday traffic with inter-island flights. At peak times, the wait at security can build up quickly. Fast Track — access to a priority security lane — lets you clear that bottleneck in minutes, with exactly the same regulatory check as the standard queue.
How Fast Track works at Gran Canaria Airport
Fast Track at Gran Canaria is access to a dedicated security lane, separate from the general queue. The security 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 of the priority lane.
At Gran Canaria, access starts from €11.10 per person. The exact price and availability are shown live for your chosen slot at the time of booking.
Where to use the priority lane
Gran Canaria operates from a single passenger terminal, which makes finding your way straightforward. Fast Track gives you access to the priority security lane; follow the details shown on your voucher to reach the correct entry point.
If in doubt, arrive at the airport with your usual buffer: Fast Track cuts the wait at security, but it does not replace check-in or bag drop. Plan those steps ahead, especially if you are travelling with hold luggage.
How much time you save
During the morning rush, on charter waves and in high season — both summer and winter in the Canaries — the standard queue at LPA can stretch to long minutes. With the priority lane, the security check usually drops back to just a few minutes. The gain is greatest on busy days: early departures, weekends and school holidays.
VIP assistance and Meet & Greet at Gran Canaria
Beyond the priority lane, Gran Canaria offers a VIP Meet & Greet assistance service: an agent welcomes you at the airport and guides you through the formalities for a smooth journey end to end. It is ideal for families, senior travellers, tight connections, or simply to take the logistical stress off your plate. The service and its prices are shown with the other options at the time of booking.
Tips for your trip through LPA
- Book ahead: priority slots are limited at peak times.
- Keep your QR voucher accessible offline (a screenshot): the network can be congested at the airport.
- Plan for high season: Gran Canaria is a major holiday destination, with sharp peaks on leisure flights.
- Fast Track does not waive security rules: liquids and electronics are presented just as in the standard queue.
