London probably is the best city to live if you have a lot of money. Even at Heathrow Airport you can cut all the huge line at security if you have the fast track pass.
What is Fast Track Pass
It is basically a pass to let you cut the security line. You don’t need to wait on line if you have a fast track pass, because they have their own entrance.
Fast track is usually given to First class passengers, but don’t be too sad about not getting the fast pass or getting on first class. You can also buy it separately.

How Do You Buy Fast Track?
You can buy fast track for about 12 pounds. Check out their website here. Remember that you can only buy it until 24 hour prior to your boarding time. You cannot just go to the airport and check the security line and decide to buy it.
How Do You Use it?
After checking in and when you head to the gates, you can see the sign “Fast Track.” When you buy the pass, it will tell you exactly were the gate is.
For example, for terminal 4 you will find it between Zone D and Zone E (closer to Zone D)
Is It Worth Paying 12 Pounds for Fast Track?
It is hard to tell if it’s worth 12 pounds. For me, it was always 50/50 if the security line was gonna be long or not. I used it once and it does really make a difference, but it is totally up to you.
I think it’s the idea that I don’t have to wait forever for security that gave me peace and comfort though.
