Quick Points: This little-known Amex Platinum perk can get you through security faster at some international airports.

Even though airport security can be time-consuming, I can usually access a shorter line using my TSA PreCheck and Clearmemberships. However, both programs only help me when traveling domestically. As such, I usually don’t have a way to decrease my wait time when clearing security in international airports.

As I discovered on a trip to Stockholm in 2022, though, there is an option for getting through security faster while overseas, thanks to The Platinum Card® from American Express — and it comes at no additional cost.

With the Amex Platinum, you’ll enjoy access to fast-track security lanes when departing from select international airports.
