Security at LGW

Good evening guys, just a quick question having never flown out of LGW before.

Do VS offer a security fast track, like that at LHR, for UC pax departing from LGW?

Cheers

Yes they do. You get a Premium Gatwick sticker on your boarding pass, but it's not a private channel like at LHR

there's no dedicared UC channel, but at check-in they'll put a sticker on your boarding pass so that you can use the shared fast track

it's shared by many airlines, and currently there's a promo by no.1 lounge that includes it with a lounge booking

i've not used it often, but it can be busy, one time i saw the queue in the fast track and just went to the normal security where there was no waiting

As others have said, there is a Premium Channel available to PE, Upper and Au VS passengers - that is of course shared with other operators offering premium services.

That said, in the previous occasions we have used it, there has never been more than two or three people in front of us

The most important point being you enter the airside Terminal only a few steps from the Clubhouse ): ): ):

Thanks for that one sungod. We have a PE flight booked and have booked No1 lounge. I didn't even notice the priority pass in my documentation but have just checked and it does include the pass.

Depending on whether or not you have children in tow, I've always found the family/special assistance security channel to be a good option. Maybe I've just been lucky the few time I've used it, but there's never been any hint of a queue.

Last time I used it there was about 20 people going through and it took about 15 minutes. I believe the normal gates got people through in about 2 minutes. So, don't assume its particularly quick....

I used to use the "fast-track" security channel at Gatwick but since the installation of the new security channels at Gatwick it actually takes half the time of the "fast-track" and I, although given the sticker, use the normal channels.

They don't always put the fast track stickers on your bags - but it seems to be ok to just use them anyway...

Last year we were travelling UC and weren't really concentrating as we nearly walked past the fast track.
When we realised and went to go in the man on the gate was quite shirty until we pointed out we were travelling UC.
And we were smartly dressed.
