Is there a priority lane for business class passengers at Suvarnabhumi Airport Immigration?
Hi all,
Quick question about Immigration at suvarnabhumi airport. I will be flying to Bangkok tomorrow via Business class. Are there any fast tracks or priority lanes at the Immigration? Do you have to book access for the priority lane in advance or is it included for business class tickets?
Thanks in advance

Answer summary
Travelers flying business class into Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok can utilize a priority lane at immigration. While there is a fast track option available, it is not specifically for business class passengers. Instead, business class flyers should follow the signs for the priority lane located to the right of the main immigration area and proactively inform staff by stating 'Business class.' It's important to note that prior reservation for fast track service is required as the dedicated fast track for business class has been discontinued. Many passengers recommend heading to Exit 3 to access the fast track area more efficiently.

I’m here now and they told me there is no longer any priority for business or first passengers.

Yeah, the dedicated fast track for business class on arrival was discontinued a while back. You can still use the priority lane to the right if you mention business class, but it's not a separate fast track anymore.

Yes mate i will be looking for it when i get back 🙏🙏 Thank you

I play the age card. If you say 'Guerre Lau' (rhymes with 'Hair Now') to any assistant, they will take you to an empty Thai gate.

Fast track service does not mean to go through without immigration. Immigration checks the same as normal. But fast track is just fast to immigration.

I use fast tack due to my age. It's also for families with small children. I don't think your class of travel qualifies you, I may be wrong but good luck you will find out soon enough

They discontinued BIZ fast track years ago.

Can you pay at the moment you arrive for the fast track service? Cheers.

Business class is not that special

Don't forget to do your TDAC online

When u get to the big mass of people at immigration look to your left and walk 150 meters down to Exit 3. It is signposted Fast Track but most people don't go all the way down there. I flew in Bus Class on Emirates walked down to exiit 3 and walked thru fast track in 5 minutes there is hardly anyone there

I thought there was a fast track lane to the right?Nigel **************
@Ralph ******
yes there is but it is usually to the right of the massive crowds and so hard to get to it. I turn left and walk down to exit 3 where there is almost nobody.
Michael ********
Have you done your TDAC?

my experience lately has been that even if I have a half hour wait to get through immigration, I still get to the luggage carousel before my bags. and business class luggage will be first to appear. you can pay for expedited immigration service, including a golf cart to haul you there... never done it, but easy to google.

If you are at the main passport entrance there is a lane marked Thai passports and this takes you to the fast-track area to the right of the main passport queues. There are independent fast-track entrances but they told me are not for business class. Make sure you retain your boarding card.

@Ian *********
retaining your boarding card is necessary whichever lane you clear in.Pui *****
@Ian *********
100% correct!Pui *****
Fast track and priority lane are different things for BKK. Business class does not qualify to enter the separate Fast Track immigration area for arrival immigration. You instead go to the main immigration area but before you enter the immigration corridor, veer to the right and you'll see a small sign saying Priority Lane. There's normally someone standing there checking boarding passes to make sure you qualify. Make sure you say "Business class" to them. They are used to rejecting almost everyone and don't really bother checking, so if you don't proactively tell them "business class", they'll likely just wave you to the left side for general immigration instead of letting you in the priority lane.

Hope it helps you out. I certainly found the Oldies lane helpful

@Pui ****
It is exactly the same procedure and access lane for persons who have attained the age of 70 or more.Jimmy *******
@Gordon ********
Thank you for this info Gordon,Great information !🙏🙏Jimmy *******
@Gordon ********
so if im coming in and im over 70 i can use priority line ,apology’s if i am asking a question that has allready been clearly answered 🙏Gordon *********
@Jimmy ******
I do not profess to know about an Over 70 inbound lane at DMK but they definitely do have an outbound Over 70 lane at DMK so I would imagine they would have a corresponding inbound lane as well. Very useful in times of heavy trafficJimmy *******
@Gordon ********
Thank you Gordon ,Over here in Philipinnes at the moment ,coming back ,there to condo in a couple of weeks ,and land at DMaung this time ,but will try the lane you metioned next time at SuvnabuhmiGordon *********
@Jimmy ******
Quite correct. I always use it. May be challenged by security at the entrance but just highlight your age on on your passport and no problemsPui *****
@Gordon ********
yes that's correctDavid ********
OP@Pui ****
thanks so much 😊🙏
Tess **********
There is fast track, it is on the right hand end of the immigration queues.
Pui *****
@Tess *********
that's not Fast Track. That's Priority Lane. Fast Track is a completely separate immigration area nowhere near normal immigration, and business class passengers qualify for priority lane, not fast track, for arrival immigration.
Todd *********
Yes. Just follow the fastrack signs. Biz class is eligible
Pui *****
@Todd ********
Fast Track and Priority Lane are different areas. Business class doesn't qualify for Fast Track any more for the past couple of years for arrival immigration, only exit immigration. Business class instead uses Priority Lane which is to the right of the main immigration corridor.David ********
OP@Pui ****
