FAST TRACKS

Dominique - 23/05/2008 14:43

A frequent traveller is somebody ready to pay a sandwich 1'000.- euro ! Twice a month I fly from Italy viaSwitzerland to CDG, LON or BRU. My choice is LX or LH. The RTN ticket is 1'000.- to 2'000.- euro for 5-6 flights. I spend 80% of the travel time in the airports, to queue at immigrations and safety checks together with passengers having paid a tenth of my fee... The airline offers a quick check in for FT + a sandwich on board. What do the airport offer ? Is it not the time to have a website (with Business Traveller) listing these airports with Fast tracks for immigration and safety checks, like Munich for instance ? This could be a way to make airports aware than we can also decide where to hub ! And maybe airline should help, as train travelling become more and more comfortable. I'm ready to invest on the website if supported ! Dominique

You raise an interesting point.

I have never seen an analysis of all the different Fast Track services offered at various countries.

In the UK, we have www.iris.gov.uk I know there is a very effective subscription system in AMS and recently used www.laufer.co.il in TLV New York has Blue something or other, and if you use these airports regularly they are well worth registering.
