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 Wrocław–Copernicus Airport
Wrocław–Copernicus Airport (WRO) is the primary airport serving Wrocław and the Lower Silesia region. Located roughly 10–12 km southwest of the city centre in the Strachowice area, the airport handles a mix of scheduled European services, low-cost carriers and seasonal charter flights. Passenger volumes typically peak in summer and on holiday weekends.
The airport operates from a single modern passenger terminal handling both Schengen and non‑Schengen services. The terminal building is compact with check-in and departures on the ground floor and arrival/arrival halls on the lower level. Services include car hire desks, taxi ranks, a small selection of cafés and shops and straightforward wayfinding. Ground transport options include regular public bus and coach connections to Wrocław Główny (central station), city taxis and pre-booked transfers; driving time to the city centre is usually around 20–30 minutes depending on traffic.
Security Information
Security at Wrocław follows standard EU rules. After check-in and bag drop, all departing passengers must pass through the security screening area. Prepare by placing liquids in containers of 100 ml or less in a single, transparent 1-litre resealable bag and present laptops and large electronic devices for screening when requested. You will need a valid boarding pass to access the departures area and ID (national ID card or passport) for non‑Schengen flights. Security staff may ask passengers to remove belts, coats or shoes depending on the scanner in use and local procedures.

Is FastTrack Worth It at Wrocław–Copernicus Airport?
FastTrack is particularly useful at WRO during peak periods (summer, public holidays and early morning/evening banked departures), when queues at the single security hall can build quickly. For passengers travelling with hand baggage only or tight schedules, FastTrack reduces stress by prioritising you through the screening queue and getting you to the departures hall faster.
Local tip: Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair and Wizz Air operate many point-to-point routes from Wrocław and sometimes cluster departures around the same times—book FastTrack if you have a short arrival-to-departure connection or if you prefer not to risk a long queue after online check‑in. Also allow extra time for baggage-drop counters for low-cost airlines; FastTrack speeds security but not airline check-in closures.

- Packing liquids over 100 ml in hand luggage or not placing them in a clear 1-litre bag.
- Assuming passport control is the same as security — for non‑Schengen flights passport/immigration checks may be separate.
- Using the FastTrack lane before completing airline check-in and bag drop (boarding pass required).
- Expecting FastTrack to include priority boarding or baggage handling — it only covers the security queue unless otherwise stated.
What If...?
- FastTrack lane may be closed or limited during overnight hours or when there are no staffed departures; check operating times on the day of travel.
- FastTrack services are generally for departing passengers — arrivals and domestic transfers may not be eligible unless explicitly stated.
