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 Trondheim Airport, Værnes
Trondheim Airport, Værnes (TRD) is the main airport serving Trondheim and the Trøndelag region. The airport is located in Stjørdal, approximately 19–25 km east of Trondheim city centre and is the second-busiest airport in Central Norway. TRD handles a mix of domestic, Schengen and a limited number of non-Schengen international routes operated by carriers such as SAS, Scandinavian Airlines, Norwegian, Widerøe and selected European partners.
The airport has a single passenger terminal with separate domestic and international (Schengen) gate areas rather than multiple separate terminals. Check-in and baggage handling are located in the main hall, with security screening ahead of the gates. Ground transport options are well developed: Værnes station (rail) connects the airport to Trondheim Central Station via the Trøndelag Commuter Rail and regional services (journey time approx. 30–40 minutes); Flybussen and local airport buses provide direct links to city centre and regional destinations; taxis, organised shuttles and car hire are available outside the terminal. Short- and long-term parking is served by several on-site lots (P1, P3 etc.).
Security Information
Security screening at TRD follows standard European/Schengen procedures. All passengers must present a valid boarding pass and government-issued photo ID at the security checkpoint. Liquids must be in containers of 100 ml/100 g or less and carried in a single transparent resealable plastic bag (max 1 litre) for hand luggage; larger quantities must go in checked baggage. Laptops and large electronics should be removed from bags and placed in separate trays. Random additional screening (hand-searches or body scanners) may be applied. For flights to non-Schengen countries (for example to the UK or outside Schengen), passport/immigration checks apply on departure or arrival as required by the destination country; these are handled separately from the security screening lanes.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Trondheim Airport, Værnes?
FastTrack at Trondheim Værnes gives you access to a dedicated priority security lane that is typically significantly shorter than the standard queue, especially during early-morning peaks, late-afternoon departures and during holiday periods.

Common Mistakes at Trondheim Airport, Værnes
- Assuming FastTrack covers immigration/passport control for non‑Schengen departures — at TRD FastTrack generally applies to security lanes only.
- Arriving without a valid ID for international flights — Norway participates in Schengen, but ID/passport is still required for some international routes.
- Packing liquids over 100 ml in hand luggage and expecting to get them through security quickly.
- Booking a FastTrack pass but not bringing the booking confirmation/QR code — you must present it at the priority lane.
- Not checking first/last train or bus times in winter; planning to rely on later public transport and arriving late for the flight.
What If...?
- Very late-night or very early-morning flights: the FastTrack lane may be closed if no staffed flights require it — opening hours can change with airline schedules.
- Transfer passengers with separate tickets: if you need to re-check baggage and re-enter the public area, FastTrack on a departing flight may not be valid for your arrival-to-departure transfer process.
- Groups and family passes: some FastTrack products restrict the number of accompanying people allowed through a single booking; confirm group rules when purchasing.
- Non-Schengen arrivals: FastTrack does not guarantee expedited passport control for inbound non-Schengen flights unless explicitly offered — check product scope for immigration priority.
