AY Fast track access at various airports
Did not find a general thread around fast track access for AY elites, so started new (there are only couple of threads concerning HEL)
Frankfurt - according to AY, only Buz eligible?
I have an upcoming FRA flight there next week and I wonder if there is any way to access fast track a la CDG?
CDG - only buz eligible, but in fact the electronic gate lets through AY silver boarding pass.
FRA being in Germany though, ze rules are ze rules...

Fast Track service at NRT & BKK(Upon arrival)
Does AY provide a pass for bus. class pax to use F T service at these airports?
I put this ? to Finnair on Facebook and was told to contact the airport of concern. Obviously wasn't on same wavelength as the responder. Perhaps I will do better here.

I don't know about FRA, but I've got access (as a plat) to priority security few times, for example in FCO. Somewhere else too, but cannot remember where it was 
FCO is listed granting priority security access for emeralds on OW site, but only when traveling on CX. FRA is not listed at all.
So dunno if they have priority security for OW in FRA at all? Maybe it's only for LH and *A?
Anyway, you should definitely try

A lot of airlines offer the fast track at FCO - but AY still not! I've never got access to it... It is stunning that AY has neglected this at FCO (at MXP it was introduced for AY pax only a couple of years ago).

NRT does not have fast track for immigration, not on arrival and not on departure. There is fast track for security for business class passengers.

Yeah, that's true. But if one is flying from HEL to NRT, then my experience is that there is nobody else at immigration (if you are in biz and walk reasonably fast).

AGP - few questions
Is there a fast track @ AGP?
am I able to proceed straight to security (hand luggage only),
do they accept the APP check-in or do I need to get the printed boarding pass from the check-inn desk?

What I miss is a fast track to UK immigration at LHR. Recent experience from the "fast track" of JFK T8 security was a miserable experience. My friends using the normal lines were faster.
