Get the perks

Your time while traveling is important, let us help with LAX Fast Lane, a reservation program for TSA screening for passengers flying out of LAX! Experience expedited screening without a membership and all contact-free. Schedule your appointment for screening beforehand or when you’re at the terminal. With less wait times and more time to do all the things you need and want to do.

Reservations and walk-in appointments are available for departing and general screening passengers daily from 4 a.m. to noon at TSA Checkpoints 2, 3, and 5 for all airline passengers! Any checkpoint leads to all gates.*

*Appointment availability is limited, reserve your spot early to get the appointment time you'd prefer! LAX Fast Lane is currently not available at TSA PreCheck Checkpoints or outside of the 4 a.m. to 12 p.m. hours



How it works:

  • Select the airline you're flying with, destination, and flight number along with your name, number of people in your party, and contact information to save your spot.
  • Once you’re at the airport, do whatever you need or want to do in the meantime! Check your bags, grab some coffee, spend more time with loved ones, or just walk up at your appointment time!
  • Go to your assigned checkpoint and look for the LAX Fast Lane logo or use our interactive map for step-by-step directions. LAX Fast Lane is available at TSA Checkpoints 3 and 5 (closest to the C, D, and N Gates) or at TSA Checkpoints 2 (closest to the A, B, and S Gates).

Security Checkpoint Map

LAX Fast Lane is optional for departing passengers and connecting passengers do not have to use it as SEA is only one terminal and screening is not required unless a passenger leaves the secure side of the airport and has to re-enter TSA Screening.

No, LAX Fast Lane is only available to general screening passengers to help provide a better screening experience for those without a trusted traveler program and create efficiency where we have the highest demand.

All TSA PreCheck passengers should be screened at TSA Checkpoints 1 or 4 in to order still use their PreCheck benefits such as not having to remove their shoes and electronics. All CLEAR customers can go to their dedicated lane at each security checkpoint as well to have their expedited experience. Members of expedited programs can still use LAX Fast Lane if they want to, but they will not be able to use the same benefits and will follow general screening practices. If the pilot program is successful, we hope to include trusted traveler programs in the future!

Yes, it’s completely free for all passengers! There is no account or membership required to use LAX Fast Lane at both participating Checkpoints.

We're really sorry about the limited times available and working to improve. LAX Fast Lane has limited appointments available and we're seeing time slots from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. fill up pretty quickly and be "sold out" due to high passenger volumes and demand, we recommend trying to reserve your time as early as possible, reservations can be made up to 72 hours before your flight. Slots are available 240 to 60 minutes before the scheduled flight time since we want to assure that customers still have time to arrive well before boarding and that also limits options by flight.

We also have LAX Fast Lane available at other checkpoint for on-site sign ups for all airline passengers as well as our normal general screening and checkpoints open! We're really sorry about the limited times available and working to improve.

You can still make it! We offer a grace period of 15 minutes per appointment time, so you may arrive any time during the 15-minute appointment window and enter the line. If you arrive more than 15 minutes past your appointment time, it would be best to reschedule your appointment (based on availability), or you may enter through the regular queue lanes.

Lastly, they will be asked to provide an email to receive the appointment confirmation with the QR code as an attachment.
