Other airports where you can book Fast Track
Priority access you can book online in the same region.
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) is the main air gateway to France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. At peak times, the wait at the security checkpoint can build up fast. Fast Track — access to a priority security lane — lets you clear that bottleneck in minutes, with exactly the same regulatory screening as the standard queue.
How Fast Track works at Lyon-Saint-Exupéry
Fast Track at Lyon 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, pick your date, and receive a QR voucher by email to show at the entrance of the priority lane.
At Lyon, access starts at €8.90 per person. The exact price and availability are shown live by terminal and time slot when you book.
Where to use it: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2
Lyon-Saint-Exupéry is built around two adjacent, connected terminals, T1 and T2, sharing a common central hall. The entry point for Fast Track depends on your departure terminal.
Check your terminal on your boarding pass before booking, then head to the priority lane shown on your voucher. If in doubt, arrive at the airport with the usual margin: Fast Track cuts the wait at security, not the time needed for check-in or bag drop.
How much time you save
During the morning peaks and in high season, the standard queue at LYS can grow noticeably. With the priority lane, security clearance usually drops back to a few minutes. The gain is greatest on busy days — early departures, weekends and school holidays.
VIP Meet & Greet at Lyon
Beyond the priority lane, Lyon-Saint-Exupéry offers a VIP Meet & Greet service: an agent takes care of you and guides you through the airport — on departure, arrival or connection. It is the natural complement to Fast Track for a smoother, calmer passage. Availability and price appear alongside the other services when you book.
Tips for your transit at LYS
- 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.
- Know the right terminal: spot T1 or T2 on your boarding pass before you leave.
- Fast Track doesn't exempt you from security rules: present liquids and electronics as you would in the standard line.
- Plan your access: the Rhônexpress tram links the airport to central Lyon (Part-Dieu) in about twenty minutes.
