Does easyJet speedy boarding allow fast track security?

With easyJet Plus, for an annual fee you can benefit from our dedicated easyJet Plus Bag drop, Speedy boarding, inclusive allocated seating and Fast Track security, as well as get access to a range of exclusive benefits.



No, Speedy Boarding on its own does not automatically include Fast Track Security. Speedy Boarding is a service that allows you to be among the first to board the aircraft and usually comes bundled with a "Standard" or "Upfront" seat selection that includes a large cabin bag. To get Fast Track Security with easyJet in 2026, you generally need to be an easyJet Plus cardholder or have booked a FLEXI fare. While easyJet Plus members enjoy both Speedy Boarding and Fast Track as part of their annual subscription, passengers who simply purchase "Speedy Boarding" as a standalone add-on for a single flight will only receive priority at the boarding gate. Some airports allow you to purchase Fast Track Security as a separate "travel extra" during the booking process on the easyJet website or app for a small fee (typically around £6), but it is a distinct service from the boarding priority.
