Fast Track with Ryanair - The Process?

Leodogger

We have paid for Fast Track with Ryanair but as this is our first time don't know what the procedure is when we get to the airport.   I have also seen mention of a separate "Fast Track Voucher" from other airports which we have not got for Birmingham Airport, we just printed off our boarding passes the same as we always do.   Does this mean you use the same check in desks as everyone else but that the code on the Boarding Pass is different for Fast Track?  Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Does 'Fast Track' here apply to check-in/bag drop, or security, or boarding?  I imagine that it'll be security but important to establish what you've actually paid for....

It likely means security. In which case you SHOULD be sent something else to scan at the entrance to security. How far off is your flight?

Ryanair don't offer a "fast track check in" or "fast track bag drop", if anything you should be checking in online before you even get to the airport.
They don't do "fast track boarding" either - they call it "priority boarding" and that won't involve any form of voucher, it's printed on the boarding card.

We have checked in online but will be checking in suitcases at the airport before going through security with hand baggage but paid Fast Track so we can avoid the security queues which is what I understood the Fast Track payment was for.

Security, then. 

When is your flight? It may be something that is only mailed to you nearer the time.

We have paid for Priority Boarding too but I was told on the webiste that Fast Track enables you to go quickly through to security in a fast lane to avoid the queues, is that not correct?  By the way we fly on 30th August.

Yes, it's an airport product that Ryanair are selling on behalf of Birmingham Airport. 

Again, when is the flight?

As I said, 30th August, so should we have a separate voucher or will the Priority Boarding Pass suffice us to access Fast Track at the airport and what happens?

Given its less than a month out I would be asking Ryanair where your Birmingham Airport security fast track voucher is. 
Their product for priority boarding has no connection to this at all - you can have one without the other 

Also be aware... 

Please note that the security entrance at Check-in zone A does not have an Express Lane. Express Lane customers checking in at Zone A should head to the security entrance at Zones B-C.

Also check your original Ryanair email to see if it was in there as an attachment.

Scrap that - this Tweet from 7 years ago suggests it will appear on your boarding card.
Have you checked in and generated your boarding cards yet?
