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 Queen Alia International Airport
Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is the main international gateway for Jordan and the primary hub for Royal Jordanian. The airport lies approximately 14 km south of Amman's city centre and handles a mix of scheduled, charter and transit traffic across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Passenger operations run through a single modern passenger terminal with two airside concourses (Concourse A and Concourse B) connected to a central check-in and arrivals hall. Ground transport options include the airport express bus to Amman, licensed airport taxis, ride-hailing services and hotel shuttle arrangements. Road transfer time to Amman is typically 25–40 minutes depending on traffic.
Security Information
Departing passengers use the central check-in hall before proceeding through security screening located on the departures level. Standard screening includes X-ray of carry-on baggage, metal detectors and random hand searches. Liquids are restricted to 100 ml containers in a clear resealable bag. Boarding pass and passport must be presented at security and again at the gate. Domestic-style short connections are uncommon; most transit passengers remain airside and follow transfer signage.
Security staff operate priority lanes for premium cabin passengers and members of certain airline status programmes; Fast Track lanes reduce contact points and bypass the longest queueing areas. Additional checks may be performed for flights to destinations with heightened security requirements.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Queen Alia International Airport?
FastTrack at AMM is valuable for travellers who want to reduce the time spent in the departures hall and account for variable traffic into the airport. Priority lanes are especially helpful during peak periods such as early-morning departures, Sundays and the start of major holiday seasons.
Local tip: give yourself at least 90 minutes for international flights during weekday morning rush hours and use the FastTrack lane if you are on a tight connection — the drive from central Amman can add 20–40 minutes to your journey depending on time of day.
Average Wait Times
Who benefits from FastTrack at AMM
Royal Jordanian & business flyers
Frequent flyers and business travellers connecting through AMM save time in the departures hall and reduce stress during morning peaks.
Families travelling from Amman
Families with young children benefit from shorter waits at security and fewer lines when managing pushchairs and carry-on items.
Short-connection transit passengers
Passengers with tight connections reduce the risk of missing onward flights by using the priority lane after ground checks.
Travel Tips
Plan for Amman traffic to Queen Alia
Allow at least 60 minutes from central Amman during weekday peak hours. Taxis and ride-hailing are available at the arrivals forecourt; ask drivers to use the airport expressway to avoid inner-city congestion when possible.
Know Royal Jordanian check-in zones
Royal Jordanian typically operates from the central check-in rows; confirm your row at the airline desk to avoid unnecessary walking before security.
Connections through Concourse B
If your incoming and outgoing flights use different concourses, follow transfer signage early and use FastTrack to speed through security if you must re-clear.
Use the airport express bus for budget transfers
The airport express coach links AMM to Amman and is a reliable low-cost option; check timetables and allow extra time for drop-off at central stations.

Common Mistakes at Queen Alia International Airport
- Underestimating road traffic from Amman — allowing only 30 minutes for the transfer from the city centre on a weekday morning.
- Heading to the wrong concourse — some airlines operate exclusively from Concourse A or B; check your gate area before queuing.
- Assuming FastTrack covers baggage drop — FastTrack speeds up security screening but does not include check-in or hold-baggage drop services.
- Bringing liquids over 100 ml in hand luggage and then queuing again after a secondary inspection.
- Forgetting visa or entry requirements for destination countries and assuming airport staff will advise on visa eligibility.
What If...?
- FastTrack lanes may be temporarily closed during heightened security alerts or when staffing is limited.
- Groups larger than four may not be admitted through the FastTrack lane as a single party; staff reserve the right to direct group flow.
- Transit passengers arriving from certain countries may still be directed to additional document checks even if they hold FastTrack access.
- Priority lanes do not bypass airline document checks at the gate; irregularities with boarding passes or visas will still require normal processing.
