Every airport in the UK will sooner to introduce £5 to skip lengthy queues at passport control.
It was revealed last month that Edinburgh Airport was planning on introducing the fee in a bid to cut long queues during busy periods.
But there are now plans for the new scheme to be used by every British airport - a move which has been described as 'ridiculous'.
It could mean that those who do not fork out the £5 for the premium service could wait even longer in the regular queue as staff are diverted to the new section, reports The Sunday People.
Officials claim that the initiative, which has been planned in conjunction with the UK Border Force, is aimed at easing congestion at airports.
Edinburgh Airport already offers a £4.99 fast track service at Departures for those wanting to skip queues at security.
