Premium Departures - Fast Track trial to launch at Stansted Airport

6th September 2011 | Press release

No.1 Traveller, the award-winning airport hospitality specialist, has signed a deal with London Stansted Airport to launch a trial of ‘Premium Departures’, a new fast-track product that allows London Stansted passengers to purchase fast-track access through airport security.

Available from Thursday 8th September and operating from 4.30am – 8.30pm every day, Premium Departures by No.1 Traveller gives passengers travelling through London Stansted the opportunity to buy fast-track access through security for just £5* per person (£4 if purchased online in advance). The price also includes a transparent plastic bag for liquid goods.  Previously restricted to business class passengers, invited guests or travellers with a particular frequent flyer status, this new partnership means that any traveller can enhance their pre-flight experience.

Passengers will be able to buy Premium Departures access at a designated reception desk in the main passenger terminal hosted by No.1 Traveller staff who will help them get through as effortlessly as possible, and also from No.1 Traveller staff situated around the terminal. In addition, travellers will also have the option to combine fast-track and lounge access to either of No.1 Traveller’s smart airport lounges, available to all passengers flying to international destinations, for just £15**. For those who want to plan ahead, Premium Departures access can be purchased online for £4 at www.No1Traveller.com and www.stanstedairport.com.

Commenting on the launch of the fast-track trial John Farrow, Head of Terminal, London Stansted Airport, said: “This provides travellers with the option to further enhance their airport experience. We look forward to working with No.1 Traveller on this new initiative.”

Phil Cameron, CEO and Founder of No.1 Traveller, said: “We believe in offering passengers the best pre-flight experience at the best price. Our aim is to make every step of the journey as enjoyable as possible and this latest offering means that travellers no longer have to waste valuable time queuing to get through to departures. Instead, they can speed through security and enjoy the comfort and service of our lounges in the knowledge that their flight is just a short walk away.”

Premium Departures access is available now for pre-booking at www.No1Traveller.com and www.stanstedairport.com and will be available to purchase at Stansted Airport from Thursday 8^th September.
