Never been handed the DXB fast track yet since January. Been given one at BKK.
Nothing to do with emirates, but boy do I wish there was fast-track in CGK

Word of advice, pass by the loo before getting in the immigration line. an hour and a half is a long time to be standing and squirming. The guy in front of me was doing the "Am gonna hold it dance" for an hour.

Indonesian immigration is busy taking prints of everyone and that is slowing s**t down like crazy http://www.saphire.co.id/announcement.htm

The whole taking prints thing got me thinking, while growing up if someone got "printed by the authorities" it was assumed that they did something bad.I.e it was considered a bad thing! And regular people never got their finger prints taken.

However in this day and age every consents to being printed ( saw kids being printed at CGK after waiting in long lines, the same has been happening in other countries for a while ). When did this social attitude towards law enforcement change. /RANT over

Guess am a grumpy old man it took years of training
