 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know not everyone approves of paying for fast-track security etc., but does anybody else have experience of the Lyon fast-track pass?
Specifically, they can be bought individually, or as a pack of 5 passes which last up to a year and is cheaper per pass. However, in that case the help page says it's the same QR code which can be used 5 times within 12 months. Has anybody successfully used all 5 scans on the same day by different people (e.g. a family of 5 all using the same pack)? The passes are not named, but I don't know if there's any kind of restriction meaning it can only be used once per hour/day or anything like that.
Many thanks.

Having stood in security for 2 hours at Lyon it could be a good idea if you are tight for time. I almost missed my flight having turned up well in advance.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks @davidof, I'm definitely going to do it, but I'm trying to work out whether I need to buy 5x individual passes (40 euros), or can save money with a single pack of 5 passes (30 euros).

For anybody who may be looking for the same information in the future, I've just purchased the x5 pass and the ticket has a note on it saying:
| Quote: |
"In case of successive use of your 5 accesses,
scan the QR code and then give the e-ticket to
your companio; once you have passed the access
doors, you will not be able to go back."
|
That implies multiple people can use the same pass on the same day, so I'm good to go hopefully. I'll report back in a few weeks if that didn't work though.

For the record, yes the x5 pass happily scanned multiple people through one after the other. The screen showed how many times it had been used so far (the unused ones last up to 12 months from purchase).
Not that we needed it in the end as there was virtually no queue for security, since so many flights were cancelled due to the ATC strikes! I'd much rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it though.
On a different note, the brand new scanners in security lanes 1 and 2 mean that we didn't need to take anything out of our bags. Laptops, liquids, bottles of water etc. all went through the scanner inside bags with no problems. It will be great when more airports have that kind of system in the future.
