To make a reservation using your miles or Avios, or to check how many of them you will need, ask your frequent flyer programme customer contact point.
Fast track through security at select airport
We know your time is precious and you would prefer to be in one of the 600 oneworld lounges rather than waiting in line at airport security. That is why, at select airports worldwide, oneworld Emerald frequent flyers (including Iberia Plus Platinum members) can access the ‘Fast Track’ or ‘Priority Lanes' at security check points no matter which cabin they are travelling in. See below for details and the list of airports where this privilege is available.
Due to restrictions or local agreements with security Fast Track facility operators, not all oneworld carriers are currently able to extend this benefit to all Emerald tier customers.
