Fast track through security

We know your time is precious and you'd prefer to be in one of up to 620 oneworld lounges, rather than waiting in line at airport security. That's why, at select airports worldwide, oneworld Emerald Frequent Flyers (Qantas Frequent Flyer Platinum and Platinum One members) can access the 'Fast Track' or 'Priority Lanes' at security check points no matter which cabin you're travelling in.

Due to restrictions or local agreements with Security Fast Track facility operators, not all oneworld carriers are currently able to extend this benefit to all Emerald tier customers.
