Allgäu Airport Memmingen FastTrack — Key Facts
Allgäu Airport Memmingen (FMM) offers online FastTrack booking starting from From €18.00 per person. Average FastTrack wait is Under 5 minutes. Available at 1 terminal.
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 Allgäu Airport Memmingen
Allgäu Airport Memmingen (FMM) is a regional international airport serving the municipality of Memmingen and the Allgäu region in southern Germany. The airport is located about 7–9 km west of Memmingen city centre and is a popular low-cost and leisure gateway for the Bavarian Alps, Lake Constance and nearby tourist destinations. The airport handles scheduled low-cost services, seasonal leisure routes and charter flights.
Security Information
Security screening at Allgäu Airport follows standard EU rules. All passengers must present a valid boarding pass and photo ID at the security checkpoint. Liquids must be in containers of 100 ml or less in a single clear resealable bag; larger liquids should be checked in. Electronics larger than a smartphone must be removed from hand luggage and placed in trays for screening. Security staff may ask passengers to remove belts, jackets and shoes as required. For flights outside the Schengen Area (seasonal or charter) passport and ID checks are performed by airline or border control staff at check-in or at a designated passport control point prior to boarding.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Allgäu Airport Memmingen?
Because the terminal is compact and passenger flows are efficient, most travellers at Memmingen do not require a paid fast-track service. During peak holiday periods (summer school holidays and the winter ski season) queues at check-in and security can grow, particularly for early-morning and late-afternoon waves of low-cost flights. If a priority lane is offered by an airline or tour operator for an individual flight, it can save you a few minutes at busy times. Local tip: Arrive 90 minutes before short-haul departures during July–August or around holiday breaks — even though the terminal is small, traffic and parking demand can add time to your journey to the gate.
Average Wait Times
Who benefits from priority at Memmingen
Business travellers
Short transfer times through the compact terminal help business travellers who must minimise time in the airport; airline-branded priority can help on busy mornings.
Families & groups
Families with children or large groups benefit from any flight-specific priority lanes or early check-in options to reduce wait and stress at security.
Seasonal leisure travellers
Passengers travelling for ski or summer holidays during peak season can experience surges; priority services offered by airlines for charter or peak flights can be worthwhile.
Travel Tips
Arrive earlier during peak season
During July–August and the winter ski season, aim to arrive 90–120 minutes before short-haul departures to allow for check-in, possible queues and shuttle travel time.
Use the shuttle to Memmingen station
The airport shuttle connects with Memmingen railway station for regional and long-distance trains; check shuttle timetables to coordinate with your train.
Pre-book parking
Short-term and long-term parking are available on-site. Pre-book parking online in peak holiday periods to secure a nearby spot and save time.
Pack liquids and electronics accessibly
Have liquids in a clear 1-litre bag and remove laptops/tablets from hand luggage to speed up the single security checkpoint.

Common Mistakes at Allgäu Airport Memmingen
- Assuming passport control is always present — most flights are Schengen and do not require border control at departure, but non‑Schengen flights will require ID checks.
- Underestimating taxi/shuttle time on busy Saturdays during holiday season — allow extra time for airport access.
- Expecting full-service lounges and extensive shopping — the terminal is compact with limited retail, so plan accordingly.
- Arriving too close to departure time thinking security is always fast — early morning peaks can cause modest queues.
- Leaving hold luggage rules to the last minute — some low-cost airlines are strict about carry-on size and may force gate check.
What If...?
- Occasional passport control set up for charter/non‑Schengen flights: an additional short queue may form just before boarding.
- During very early flights (pre-dawn) some terminal facilities (cafés, counters) may open later than security; plan snacks accordingly.
- For certain charter operations the airport may operate additional staffed check‑in desks or temporary security channels, changing passenger flow.
- Large coach arrivals/departures (e.g. ski groups) can create surges at check-in and security despite the terminal’s small size.
