No fast track security access at Lyon
I don't know if this has been posted before...
CE tickets at Lyon airport don't get access to the fast track security lane, is that because BA don't pay for it?
Access can be purchased through the airport App.

I imagine that that is the reason, yes. There are quite a few airports where BA pax that think they can get priority security cannot in fact do so, though more often than not it's because they expect access as an Elite, whereas the relevant airport often restricts access to business only. It's been a while since I have flown into Lyon, but I don't recall security being too bad on any of my trips there.

Looking at the wiki in this thread it seems lack of entitlement to fast track security at LYS was an issue pre covid as well.
