I'm a little concerned I'll waste time in that line and then I'll be told to PFO once I get to the front. Is the diplomatic line closed as well?
Up until two weeks ago I would have said you wouldn't have any problem arriving on that flight, even if you cannot use the fast track lane. I've used that very same flight extensively and never even bothered with fast-track when I did have it because there was never any waiting to speak of in all the times I've arrived at that time. But two weeks ago when I last flew that flight, it was a madhouse at that time. I made a brief report of that earlier in this thread. Not that my one-time experience means anything statistically, so you might end up breezing through. But I wouldn't count on it if I were you. Sorry I don't know how good your chances of using Fast-track are. I was in economy on my last flight so didn't inquire, and forgot to bring some of my surplus cards I had from the past.
