According to media reports UK airports may introduce a £5 fee for passengers willing to pay to avoid lengthy queues at passport control.

The new scheme reportedly due to be rolled out by the government, proposes that fees ranging from £5 to £20 could be introduced in airports across the country to allow people to skip long waits, if a similar scheme at Edinburgh Airport is successful.

Emirates have partnered with FlyBe to make your journey even smoother. You can now fly from eight regional airports with FlyBe to any of the six Emirates airports and easily connect to flights to Dubai and beyond.

Choose from these eight regional FlyBe airports: Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Exeter, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Inverness, Jersey and Newquay, to connect to any Emirates UK airport: Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle.
