Priority security in TXL terminal C is exclusively available to easyJet Plus cardholders. It's basically a bypass of the regular queue which usually ends at the security lane to the far left (C 60-80 gate entrance). The airport operator used to sell tickets to the designated lane until the aviation authorities put a stop to that. The airline may choose to pay for eligible passenger to get access. Most airlines, including IB (regular departures from C gates) and BA, chose not to.
