No Priority Security at OSL?
 

I was flying OSL-HEL-RIX today and as a OWE my boarding passes were stamped "Priority Security". I went to the Fast Track lane and the machine (all BP checks at OSL are electronic) flashed red with the notice "Not Valid: Contact Airline" or something to that affect.

Thankfully the line for normal security wasn't too bad but I wish the BP wouldn't advertise a benefit you don't get.

I think there are separate priority security lines for different airlines at OSL in the wide row of security check access points, if I'm not mistaken. Something like SAS / Norwegian / Others including AY. Could this be the reason?

As loimu said, you probably tried accessing the Fast Track meant for SK/DY. There should be another Fast Track for all other carriers. If you believe that you were in the right lane but still got rejected I would chalk it up as glitch in the system, happened to me at ARN where the automated gate rejected me despite having the proper credentials.

Yes there is another priority security for Finnair and some other airlines. IIRC it is near check in counter 6.

As has been pointed out, AY (and others) don't use the same fast track as SK and DY in OSL. The fast track benefit itself definitely works though.

I used the OSL fast track on Wednesday. No problem, but you have to go to the one that is shared by many airlines, as others have pointed out.

Well now I feel dumb. AY was at check in counter 1 so I just walked to the closest Fast Track. Good to know for next time especially as I think the Fast Track by counter 6 is likely closer to the lounge anyway.

No reason to feel dumb. That’s what FT is for – I don’t know OSL procedures, but having separate priority lanes sounds complicated. Now I know how it works, and when I fly from OSL next time, I won’t make mistakes. :tu:

Same exact thing happened to me last week in Oslo. I was flying Air France and walked to the other end of the terminal to say goodbye to somebody then got rejected by the fast track lane there. Hiked all the way back over to the Air France counter where I was told to use a different fast track lane and it worked fine.

Correct procesure is as follows: After the escalator from flytoget, take right for a two bit unaligned escalators going "up and right" instead of "up and front" as the main departure area escalators do. Then, after escalators, move towars the CI-area, veering slitghly right, cross the cafeteria through or leave it to port and you end up straight to AY Fasttrack.

Anyway, I bet the ' normal' track/queue for security checks were short, right?

I passed OSL twice recently and with no lines for the security checks, I didn't bother to look for "fast track" entry.

Usually the SK fast track in OSL is not so fast since there are always a million SK status/plus passengers enjoying their perk to queue in upper-class queue instead of the cattle-class one. On my last visit my colleague (EBD) was flying SK and I with AY, I was through the security in 2 min, then ended up waiting for him airside over 15 min :D

Hi, I know there is no fast track lane for wizzair in Oslo, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to get it from the airport or sth as I will be in a hurry in transit. Thanks in advance

All fast track lanes are currently closed in Oslo (except crew and families), even though, Finnair is still having access printed on boarding passes. Therefore, I doubt there could be anything purchased for a Wizzair flight. You better be lucky, or ready to politely skip the queue.
