I have used it a few times, it all depends on the flight and the general business of the airport. I have experienced both good and bad. I would never pay for it as a separate service that is for sure..

What is your view on priority boarding. I can remember paying for the priority security on a Ryanair flight when i was at the airport and the queue was bigger than the normal security queue ha ha ha

I haven't paid for fast track but do have it just now. Its great!
Again we have priority boarding with BA but its hit or miss if they do it properly. Always do it at Aberdeen but mixed results elsewhere.

I have used this but as part of the buying the No: 1 Lounge at Gatwick North , but I don't think I would purchase on it's own to be honest.

It's usually ok 👍 We get it as we take hand luggage only & it ensures our cases stay with us and not put in the hold. Plus, we usually get first dabs on the overhead lockers and our cases don't end up halfway down the plane 😂

Outbound journeys are usually fine, inbound it depends Malaga great Fuerteventura not very good.

Thanks Miss Pink & Fiona,don't think we'll bother 😁

I've usually had fast track included either in my airline ticket or by frequent flyer status , mostly it's good but sometimes excellent and no waiting at all .
One thing I have paid for is fast track immigration at Dubai , you prebook and are met off the plane and escorted through and fast tracked at a separate desk for your passport to be stamped , the escort then stays while you retrieve your bags and then leaves once you arrive at the taxi or pick up zone . The normal queues at DXB are pretty bad and you could easily wait for 60 to 90 mins , so it's worth paying to skip the queues and wait .
