Er, as there is at Stansted. (£5)

When did they introduce that? It certainly isn't as obviously marketed
as at Luton.


Paid Fast Track at STN seems to have been introduced in 2011:

FWIW, it features prominently on the Stansted airport front page:

With Ryanair, they offer the opportunity to buy Fast Track security
access when buying the flight (on a standard fare). With easyJet, this
is not offered, it only comes bundled with the Flexi fare.

What is not made clear on the Stansted website is the fact you can buy
Fast Track access there and then without 'pre-booking' it, presumably
because they'd rather people didn't turn up at the airport and make an
assessment as to whether or not it'd be worthwhile before shelling out.

The new regular security area is larger and has more lanes than the old
one did, though I'm aware I likely got lucky when I passed through so
very quickly. One very obvious point, which applies everywhere not just
at STN, is to make sure one keeps one's eyes open and don't just follow
the crowd, as inevitably many people bunch up at the nearest security
lanes and don't move along to the less busy ones.
