Priority services
Reviewed September 2026
The ground-handling bundle attached to premium tickets: dedicated check-in, fast-track security where offered, priority boarding, and bags tagged to come off first. Individually small, together they subtract most of the airport friction economy passengers budget hours for. Two caveats worth knowing: fast-track availability is airport-specific rather than guaranteed, and priority baggage delivery is aspiration as much as promise at some stations. The check-in and boarding elements are the reliable core.
