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 Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras"
Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" (RHO) is the main air gateway for the island of Rhodes and one of the busiest regional airports in Greece during the summer season. Located in Paradisi on the western side of the island, it serves scheduled and large numbers of seasonal charter flights from across Europe. The airport handled roughly four million passengers in recent years, with heavy peaks between May and October.
The airport has a single main passenger terminal building with two primary levels: arrivals on the ground floor and departures on the upper floor. Within the terminal there are separate halls/queues for Schengen and non-Schengen operations during the busiest times, a compact departures concourse with a mix of contact stands and remote bus gates, and a modest selection of shops, cafés and car rental desks. Transport links include KTEL regional buses to Rhodes town, regular taxi services, on-site car hire and parking; the city centre is approximately 14 km (20–30 minutes by road) from the terminal.
Security Information
Standard EU security rules apply: liquids in containers of 100 ml or less in a single transparent re-sealable bag, laptops and large electronics screened separately, and metal objects removed at the scanner. For Schengen flights you pass through security only; for non‑Schengen departures you will clear security and then passport control. During the summer months the security queue can build quickly—airports commonly open additional temporary lanes to manage peak flows. Staff may request that you remove belts, shoes and outer layers before scanning.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras"?
FastTrack is particularly valuable at RHO during the high season when charter and low-cost carrier schedules concentrate departures in the same narrow time windows. A dedicated priority lane can cut waiting time at departures security from 30–60 minutes down to a few minutes, helping you reach shops, cafés or the gate with time to spare.
Local tip: If you land into Rhodes and are tight on connection time for a departing flight from the same terminal, FastTrack for departures can significantly reduce the risk of missing your flight—combine it with online check-in and luggage drop as early as allowed. For transfers by bus to the terminal from the port, allow 30–45 minutes for traffic in peak season.
Average Wait Times
Who benefits most from FastTrack at RHO
Business travellers
Reduce waiting time at security on tight schedules—ideal for quick business turnaround visits to Rhodes.
Families
Makes moving with children and carry-on luggage smoother by cutting the main security queue.
Holidaymakers & charter passengers
Useful during the summer peak when several charter flights depart within short windows—get to the gate faster.
Travel Tips
Arrive early in peak season
During July and August allow at least three hours for international departures—FastTrack reduces queue time but check-in and bag drop still need time.
Prepare liquids & electronics
Pack liquids in 100 ml containers in a single clear bag and remove laptops and large electronics for separate screening to speed your passage.
Use public bus to save time & money
KTEL buses link the city centre and Rhodes port to the airport; taxis are quicker but more expensive—factor traffic when planning travel time.
Bring booking confirmation
Have your FastTrack voucher and boarding pass ready to show at the lane entrance to avoid delays.

Common Mistakes at Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras"
- Underestimating queue times during July–August peak season and arriving with minimal buffer.
- Assuming FastTrack covers check-in and priority boarding — most FastTrack products at RHO only cover security.
- Packing liquids over 100 ml in carry-on and discovering them at screening, causing delays.
- Confusing Schengen and non‑Schengen lanes — always follow staff directions for your flight.
- Waiting until the last minute to present a voucher or booking confirmation at the FastTrack entrance.
What If...?
- Late-night or very early flights: dedicated FastTrack lanes may be unstaffed outside core operating hours even if the terminal is open.
- Large charter groups processed separately: sometimes groups have bespoke screening arrangements and FastTrack lanes may be closed or limited.
- If your inbound leg is non‑Schengen and outbound is Schengen (or vice versa), passport control location and availability of priority lanes can differ — check before you travel.
- Severe weather or operational disruptions can temporarily close priority lanes; in those cases you will join the standard security flow.
