Rome Fiumicino Airport Terminals

Rome airport Fast Track

The Fast Track service is the quickest way to skip the security line. It can be very convenient if you want to avoid the endless queues that can often be created at security checks, or it can be decisive for not missing a flight if you arrive late at the controls. By purchasing a voucher costing 5 euros (free for children and teenagers from 0 to 12 years old), you can access the quick checks, where there is usually no queue or it is extremely small. Tickets can be purchased at the information desks at T1 and T3 in the departures area.

E-Gates

Rome Fiumicino airport was the first airport in Italy to have installed E-Gates, or digital gates for passport control in the case of international flights. The E-Gates allow you to halve the time for document verification. In fact, once the traveler arrives at the automatic gate, he simply has to place his passport on a scanner, after which the image of his face will be scanned and compared with the one stored in the passport chip. In most cases the gate will open after a few seconds, but if for some reason problems arise, it will be sufficient to go to the traditional gates.

In order to use the E-Gates you must have an electronic passport (equipped with a microchip), and be at least 14 years old, so they cannot be used if you are traveling with children.
