As someone who’s always looking for ways to make travel easier and more enjoyable, I’m excited to share a new service at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) that’s a total game-changer—YEG EXPRESS! If you’ve ever wished you could breeze through security without the wait, this is for you.
YEG EXPRESS lets you reserve your spot in the security line ahead of time, making the whole process smoother and more efficient. It’s especially perfect for those early morning flights when every minute counts! Whether you’re flying domestically or internationally (except to the U.S.), you can book your spot up to 72 hours before your flight.
Here’s how it works:
Sign Up Before You Fly – You can reserve your spot from home up to 72 hours before your flight or even when you arrive at the airport. Just enter your airline, flight number, and the number of people in your group to save your spot.
Check-In & Relax – After checking in and dropping off your bags, grab a coffee or spend some extra time with loved ones before heading to security. You’ll receive a QR code when you sign up, and all you need to do is show it to airport staff when it’s your turn to go through screening.
Jump the Line – At your scheduled time, head over to the YEG EXPRESS entrance at Central Security, scan your QR code, and enjoy expedited access through the security line. It’s that simple!
Why I’m Excited About this Service
What’s not to love about saving time at the airport? With YEG EXPRESS, you can avoid the stress of long security lines and enjoy a more relaxed start to your trip. And the best part? It’s free for all passengers to use! Whether you’re travelling solo, with friends, or even with a group (up to 10 people can book under one appointment), this service makes the whole experience smoother.
And if you’re a little late? No worries—there’s a 15-minute grace period, so you have some wiggle room.
Pro Tip:
Spots can fill up quickly, especially during peak travel times, so be sure to book your YEG EXPRESS appointment as early as possible!
