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 Split Airport (Resnik)
Split Airport (Resnik) is the principal airport serving Split and the central Dalmatian coast. Located on the coast between the towns of Kaštela and Trogir, the airport handles a mix of scheduled European services and high-volume seasonal charter flights serving the islands and coastal resorts. Passenger traffic is highly seasonal with the busiest months from May to September.
The airport uses a single passenger terminal with a clear arrivals/departures layout, a compact security zone and a mix of jet bridging and bus gates. Facilities include car hire desks, a small selection of cafés and shops, tourist information and basic business services. Transport links include the airport shuttle / Promet bus service to Split bus station, regular intercity coach connections to Trogir and airport taxis; many visitors also pre-book private transfers or use car hire to reach coastal resorts and ferry ports.
Security Information
Standard EU security screening rules apply: liquids in containers of 100 ml or less in a single clear 1-litre bag, laptops and large electronics out of bags for screening, and standard carry-on size limits enforced by individual airlines. Croatia is a Schengen-member state (Schengen entry rules apply); passport/ID checks occur for flights to/from non-Schengen countries. Security personnel perform manual and x-ray screening; during the summer months additional spot-checks and random checks can extend processing times.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Split Airport (Resnik)?
FastTrack at Split significantly reduces the time spent in the compact but often congested security area during the summer peak. Because the terminal footprint is small, queues can quickly grow when several wide-body/charter flights depart in a short window — FastTrack provides direct access to the dedicated priority lane and usually shaves 10–30+ minutes off your journey through departures.
Local tip: If travelling in high season or with an early-morning flight, allow at least 90–120 minutes for international departures (60 minutes for Schengen) and use the Promet bus (line 37) or pre-book a private transfer to avoid taxi queue delays at arrival.
Average Wait Times
Who's FastTrack for?
Business travellers
Reduce time in the terminal and keep to a tighter schedule between meetings and flights.
Families & groups
Skip long queues with children and streamline the screening process before boarding island ferries or resort transfers.
Cruise & transfer passengers
Ideal for passengers catching tight ferry or coach connections to island ports or cruise terminals.
Time-sensitive travellers
Good for early-morning departures or days with multiple peak flights when standard queues can be long.
Travel Tips
Take the Promet bus
Use Promet bus line 37 (seasonal schedule) or airport shuttle services to reach Split bus station — avoid taxi queues in peak arrival times.
Have ID & boarding pass ready
Keep your boarding pass and passport/ID accessible before you reach the FastTrack lane to speed admission.
Prepare liquids and electronics
Place liquids (≤100 ml) and laptops/tablets in an easy-to-reach place for quick removal at X‑ray screening.
Check airline hold-baggage cut-off times
Some airlines close check-in/baggage drop earlier than security closes — allow time to drop checked luggage before joining FastTrack.
Pricing
From £5.99 per person (seasonal pricing may apply)

Common Mistakes at Split Airport (Resnik)
- Arriving only 45 minutes before an international flight during high season and underestimating security queues.
- Assuming FastTrack includes priority immigration or boarding — at Split FastTrack typically applies only to the security checkpoint unless otherwise specified.
- Not having digital or printed boarding pass and travel ID ready when joining the FastTrack lane.
- Confusing the airport bus stop locations — check whether your hotel shuttle or bus stops at the terminal departures or at the lower arrivals road.
- Expecting all airlines to accept the same hand luggage sizes; low-cost carriers enforce size restrictions which can slow you at gate checks.
What If...?
- Charter flights that arrive in large numbers early in the morning can saturate both standard and priority lanes; in rare cases FastTrack may be temporarily suspended.
- Late-night or very early flights outside normal operating windows: dedicated FastTrack staffing is dependent on scheduled flights and may not be available for unscheduled or very early departures.
- Passengers connecting on separate tickets may need to clear immigration and re-check baggage; FastTrack for security does not bypass passport/immigration requirements.
- Groups and tour parties: large groups may be directed to specific checkpoints even if some members hold priority passes, so group bookings should confirm FastTrack arrangements in advance.
