Spanish airports offer security slot booking to reduce waiting time

Spanish airports have launched a new platform that allows passengers to book a security slot in advance, in order to reduce waiting time and improve the travel experience. The platform is available for 22 airports across the country, and is free of charge for passengers.

How does the security slot booking platform work?

The security slot booking platform is a web-based application that can be accessed through the Aena website or app, the official operator of Spanish airports. Passengers can enter their flight details, such as the date, time, airport, and airline, and choose a security slot that suits their schedule. The security slot is a 15-minute window in which the passenger can access the security checkpoint.

The platform will generate a QR code that the passenger can print or save on their mobile device. The passenger will have to scan the QR code at the entrance of the security checkpoint, and show their boarding pass and ID. The passenger will then be able to go through the security screening without waiting in line.

The platform is available for both domestic and international flights, and for both departing and arriving passengers. The platform can be used up to 72 hours before the flight, and up to one hour before the security slot. The passenger can also modify or cancel their security slot up to one hour before the slot.
