Airports can be chaotic, especially with last-minute flight changes and baggage issues causing stress for even the most prepared travelers. The rush to catch a flight can be nerve-wracking, especially in bustling airports like London Stansted.
Luckily, travel vlogger Elaine Poon has shared a smart strategy to bypass the crowds and speed through security. On her TikTok channel @travelainewithme, she recommended veering right towards the ‘Fast Track’ sign instead of joining the typical ‘Departures’ queue on the left.
By following this advice, passengers can access a less crowded security lane, as demonstrated by Elaine effortlessly passing through while others waited in a long queue on the opposite side. Despite initial skepticism from some viewers, the effectiveness of this hack was confirmed by London Stansted’s official TikTok account in a comment below the video.
Many grateful viewers praised Elaine for sharing this time-saving tip, with one reporting a smooth and queue-free experience using the hack. While some joked about informing family and friends about the trick, seasoned flyers expressed a mix of appreciation and slight annoyance at the newfound attention drawn to this previously under-the-radar shortcut.
