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 Bergen Airport, Flesland
Bergen Airport (Flesland) opened in 1955 and is the second-busiest airport in Norway. The state-owned operator Avinor runs a single, consolidated passenger terminal that separates domestic and international flows inside the same building; check-in, security and most arrivals/departures are under one roof with finger gates for larger jet services.
Transport links include the Bybanen light rail (direct service to Bergen city centre in about 45 minutes), regional coaches, taxis and dedicated shuttle services. The airport also supports substantial offshore helicopter operations serving North Sea installations, and the frequent Bergen–Oslo route is one of the busiest domestic sectors in Europe.
Security Information
Standard security screening at Bergen uses a single main security hall on the departures level. Passengers require a valid boarding pass and must comply with EU/Schengen liquid and carry-on restrictions. International arrivals from non-Schengen countries use passport control on arrival; Schengen-to-Schengen transfers generally do not require passport control but may have additional gate checks. Secondary screening can be requested at any time and is conducted in a separate area near the security lanes.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Bergen Airport, Flesland?
FastTrack is valuable at Flesland because peak periods—early mornings for domestic flights to Oslo and late afternoons for international departures—can create concentrated queues in the single screening hall. Paying for priority screening reduces stress on tight connections and gives predictable processing time when travelling for business or on staggered itineraries.
Local tip: use the Bybanen light rail timetable to time your arrival; trains from the city usually align well with morning check-in peaks, and arriving one train earlier or later can avoid the busiest queue periods.

- Arriving at the terminal with only 30 minutes before scheduled departure during peak morning Oslo services
