i think this is the key here. as long as they tell me that they cant help, i usually just walk by myself then.
in jan i was in JNB for the first time, didnt know the airport so i was happy have someone showing me the way but when we got to immigration they wouldnt allow me to use the crew/diplomat/whatever counter, so i ended up standing in line as well. i think BKK is the only station for me where arrival PAs always come thru 100%. it usually takes me 15-20 minutes from planedoor to car outside, sometimes even including checked lugagge... ^
in general i prefer PAs on depature to jump security lines and guide me to the lounge and gate in case i dont know the airport, always appreciated...
