QPass FAQs

 

What is QPass and how does it work?

QPass is a free service provided by Aeroporti di Roma at Fiumicino Airport. It allows you to book a time slot to go through security checks before your flight. By arriving at your scheduled time and scanning your boarding pass at the automatic gate, you can access a dedicated entry and enjoy a more convenient and comfortable experience at security.
 

How do I use QPass?

Using the service is very straightforward. You can book a slot from home or at the airport by visiting the link provided. There, you will enter your flight details, the number of passengers, their names and your email address. No registration or account is required. After completing the booking, you will receive a QR Code and a confirmation email with all the information about your terminal and booking time. Keep this information and show it to security staff if requested.
 

Is Qpass free to use?

Yes, the service is completely free for all passengers. No account or subscription is required to use QPass.
 

Do I need to create a profile or account to use QPass?

No, the system does not require any registration, it is specially designed to be fast and easy to use.
 

With the QPass, will there be a dedicated security line for booked passengers?

No, the QPass service provides free access to a dedicated entrance and route for booked passengers, but does not offer a dedicated security line; unlike the Fast Track service, which is a paid service.
 

Can the QPass service be used for any flight?

At the moment, the QPass service is being tested and has not yet been extended to flights to the USA and Israel.
 

How far in advance can I book an appointment with QPass?

QPass can be used from 7 days before your flight.
 

At what times can the QPass service be booked?

Currently, the QPass service is active:

  • at Terminal 1 security gates: 5am to 8pm
  • at Terminal 3 security gates: 3am to 11pm

Appointment times are made available in relation to the opening time of check-in and boarding of your flight - normally from 3½ hours up to 60 minutes before the flight in the case of Schengen flights and up to 75 minutes before the flight in the case of non-Schengen flights. You can then choose from the available appointment times and book the one that best suits your needs.
Therefore, it is possible to book the QPass service:

  • for Schengen destinations with the following times:
                       Terminal 1: flights departing from 6:15am
                       Terminal 3: flights departing from 4:15am
 
  • for non-Schengen destinations with the following times:

                       Terminal 1: flights departing from 6:30am
                       Terminal 3: flights departing from 4:30am

These appointment times are made available in an appropriate number according to the expected saturation level of the security gate in order to always offer you the best possible level of service.
 

I'm trying to book with QPass but I don't see my flight, why is that?

Make sure you fill in the date, airline and flight number successfully. If you still can't find it, it is likely that the flight's operation is not compatible with the QPass service hours (see previous point); in that case, you can simply use the 'traditional' entrance at the security checkpoint.
 

What do I do if the available QPass times have run out?

If you do not find any time available, you can still go to the 'traditional' security checkpoint entrance; Aeroporti di Roma always guarantees its high standards of service.
 

Can I book for a group of people?

Yes, the system allows booking for groups of up to 10 people.
 

Where are the entrances to the dedicated QPass security gates?

You can find the QPass entrance by following the signs in the terminal or by downloading the map with directions here: Terminal 1 o Terminal 3. In any case, for any information, please contact the Info Desks at the check-in lobbies.
 

Can I change or cancel my reservation?

Yes, in the confirmation e-mail you can find the link to change or cancel your reservation.
 

I have completed the QPass booking but have not received the e-mail, what should I do?

Check your spam folder. If you did not actually receive the e-mail, a simple technical problem may have occurred: in that case, make a new booking and - if possible - send us a report on the site in the Contact Us section so that we can improve the service.
 

What is the QR Code for?

The QR Code will be scanned by security staff to confirm your booking, in case you are unable to access with just your boarding pass


 

Do I have to print the QR Code or can I display it on my device?

You can opt for either option, as long as the QR code is clearly readable and scannable with the security officer's device.
 

Do I have to show my ID or ticket/travel pass to enter?

The ticket/travel document is indispensable for access to the security checkpoint; however, it is not normally necessary to show the document when entering the security checkpoint.
 

What happens if I arrive at QPass at a different time than my appointment?

It is usually possible to use the slot up to 15 minutes before and after the booking time. If you find that you cannot meet this window, we advise you to change your appointment or make a new reservation. But be careful not to be too late, you might miss your flight!
 

What is the difference between QPass and Fast Track?

Fast Track is a paid service that can be purchased at Rome Airports and provides access to a dedicated entrance, queue and security line that can be used without the need for a reservation or prior communication.

The QPass, on the other hand, is a free service that can only be used with a prior reservation, which - provided that the passenger agrees to show up at a specific time provided by the airport - allows access to a dedicated entrance and queue.
 

If I go through security with QPass and then need to leave, how do I get back in?

No problem: simply book a new QPass appointment in the usual way or simply use the 'traditional' entrance at the security checkpoint.
 

How is my personal data handled?

Your personal data is handled in full compliance with European legislation. Please refer to the Privacy Policy.
 

I want to use QPass but the appointment times I want are not available, what should I do?

QPass ensures limited appointments available only during service operating hours and compatible with your flight. That is why we advise you to book your appointment as soon as possible in order to have the best possible choice.
