Changes at BKK Biz and 1st

That will soon change,  the backlash will be huge

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Lots of their competitor destinations offer this as well.

When I started to go through the Premium lane at BKK, the guard said I needed to go through a different lane.  I showed him my APEC business travel card, and he waved me through.

On departure, the girl at the ticket counter specifically directed me to Fast Track for departures because of my business class ticket, so maybe it's just on arrivals?

I got bounced in Vietnam on my APEC card because the back of the card is blank, and guard there said it needed to list each country for which it it valid. Never heard that before but will follow up on it.

I've been paying for Fast Track or had the Elite for years. Recently, after landing from SEA trips the premium gates were so far it hasn't been worth it. The premium agents just point you where to go and ensure you can get in rather than taking you through.

Da Nang fast track has been got but it's not as useful as BKK for example as it's not always as remotely busy.

Does this change only apply to departures? I’m planning to use the link below for my fast track/cart unless, it is no longer available.

They used to bring the cart near your gate, take you to fast track into the queue. Not sure what will happen next week when I arrive at BKK as I have paid for cart and fast track

think there maybe confusion over terminology.  Apparently "Fastrack Lanes"  and "Priority Lanes" have been used interchangeably when they are different in BKK. I think in the past Business Class and 1st Class used both Fastrack and Priority lanes and the new ruling only applies to Fastrack now being no longer available to Business Class and 1st Class travellers.

On an ANA map of BKK it shows 3 immigration lanes with Fastrack being available in "Arrivals 2". A reply from AOT to Loyalty Lobby Magazine indicates that Priority Access for Business Class travellers is still available in "Arrivals 1 & 3".  Only time will tell if this is correct.

See reply below from the article mentioned in the first post.
