What Is FastTrack Security?
FastTrack Security is a dedicated, pre-bookable security lane available at participating airports worldwide. It allows all passengers — regardless of airline or ticket class — to bypass the standard security queue and pass through a separate, less crowded checkpoint.
By booking FastTrack in advance, you secure a spot in a priority lane that typically has significantly shorter wait times than the regular queue. This means less time standing in line and more time enjoying the terminal, shopping, or simply relaxing before your flight.
FastTrack Security is available to everyone — families, solo travellers, business passengers, and leisure flyers alike. There are no membership requirements or loyalty programme tiers needed to access the service.
What FastTrack Is Not
- Not airport lounge access — FastTrack only covers the security screening process
- Not priority boarding — your boarding process remains as per your airline's policy
- Not immigration fast-track — passport control and border checks are separate from security screening
Airport Overview
About Aktion National Airport
The Preveza–Lefkada region relies on Aktion National Airport for direct access to the western Greek coast and nearby Ionian islands. The facility handles scheduled domestic services, a strong seasonal charter programme and low-cost carrier routes during the summer months. The airport sits roughly 13 km from Preveza town centre and is the nearest airport for visitors to Lefkada via the island bridge.
Aktion has a single small passenger terminal with one main check-in hall, compact departure concourse and a handful of contact stands. The building groups check-in, security screening and departures on the same level, with arrivals and baggage reclaim in the ground floor hall. Transport options include car hire, taxis, seasonal shuttle buses to Preveza and local buses that connect to Lefkada bridge; expect journey times of around 20–30 minutes to Preveza and 25–40 minutes to Lefkada depending on traffic and season.
Security Information
Standard screening applies for all departing passengers: hold baggage passes through X-ray machines, carry-on luggage is screened and passengers walk through metal detectors. Liquids in hand baggage must follow the 100 ml rule and be presented separately in a clear bag. Schengen-bound flights operate as domestic/Schengen departures, while flights to the UK and other non-Schengen destinations will require passport control and sometimes additional checks. Peak wait times occur with overlapping charter departures in the summer; staffing and additional screening lanes are added at busiest times but queues can still form.
If you have special requirements (mobility, medical equipment, oversized items), inform your airline in advance so staff can advise on arrival times and any escort through security or dedicated handling.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Aktion National Airport?
A priority security lane is most useful at Aktion during the high season, when multiple charter flights depart in short windows and security queues lengthen. Although there is no public FastTrack product listed for sale here, airlines and VIP handlers sometimes provide priority screening for premium passengers; if you travel on a full-service carrier or have a business/priority fare, confirm priority lane access at check-in.
Local tip: factor in the 13 km distance to Preveza when planning onward travel — taxis and prebooked transfers are the quickest option to Lefkada, especially if you have tight connections or arrive during a peak departure wave.

Travel Tips
Best route to Lefkada bridge from Aktion
Taxis and prebooked transfers are the quickest option to Lefkada — expect a 25–40 minute drive depending on traffic. Public buses run seasonally and take longer; confirm timetables in advance.
Short-stay parking at Aktion Airport
Short-term parking is immediately outside the terminal building and suitable for quick drop-offs. For longer stays, use designated long-stay lots and prebook if travelling in July–August.
Plan for charter departure clusters
Many tour operators schedule several charters in a tight window; allow extra time for check-in and security during July and August.
Passport check for UK/non-Schengen flights
If your flight is to a non-Schengen country (for example, the UK), be prepared for passport control in departures — have travel documents ready to avoid delays.

Common Mistakes at Aktion National Airport
- Arriving with only a short buffer before a busy summer departure slot — many travellers underestimate peak-season queueing.
- Assuming all flights are Schengen-domestic — flights to the UK and some charters require passport control, so allow extra time.
- Relying on frequent public transport schedules; bus services to Lefkada and Preveza reduce frequency outside peak season.
- Expecting extensive terminal facilities — shops and services are limited, so purchase essentials before arriving if possible.
- Not informing the airline about mobility needs in advance; the terminal is compact but assistance still needs to be arranged.
What If...?
- Private VIP or airline-provided priority lanes may be available on request even though no publicly sold FastTrack exists.
- Late-season charter schedule changes can create unexpected peaks; flights grouped by tour operator may depart within short windows.
- Small terminal capacity means oversized carry-on screening can delay the whole lane during busy periods.
- If weather diverts flights, temporary immigration checks for non-Schengen arrivals may be set up in the terminal hall.
