OS: no security fast lane at...

… BCN and BUD.

This month in BUD and BCN on OS C ticket.
Checkin agents told me to use the security fast lane.
There I was sent away. "Austrian does not pay for fast lane !"
HON status did not interest them.
As the other line(s) were pretty full, it took 15-20 minutes to get through.

On LX in C at the same airports also this month: no problem to use the fast lane.

Some more airports to add onto the list???

BUD seems to be an LH issue too.

BUD is pretty dire, actually. I went through it this evening although security was totally fine, few passengers and no waiting time. But I left from the low cost airline terminal (2B as I remember) because I was flying germanwings. You would have thought that Lufthansa in terminal 2A would deal with germanwings.

Exactly what? Since a year ago even *G on LH are allowed to use the fast lane. And the contract lounge is decent and close to the LH gates.

GRZ

Graz (Austria) no fast line but it is small airport and you never wait more than few minutes.

Got a call from the OS HON Circle Service.
They plan to offer security fast lane in BCN,… starting from second quarter of 2016.

No fast lane at CDG for C class and/or HON either.

In CDG Austrian uses Terminal 2D, which is for LCC and for "leftovers". Fast lane is offered for easyjet, Hunnu Air (a Mongolian LCC), Belavia, Air Serbia, Azerbaijan, Finnair and CSA (and maybe some others). But not Austrian. Ridiculous.

Yep. Nothing has changed here in BUD. They refused fasttrack on OS C today.

Which is even more ridiculous given that OS operates AF codeshares! So you are flying AF J on OS metal from CDG and don't have access to fast lane?!
