Off to BAH soon for a few days soon but am getting conflicting advice re arrivals. Is there anything remotely like fast track arrivals for F pax or do I just pay for the 'Marhaba' service and be done with it? Really can't be arsed standing in line.
Any info (and other BAH advice as it's one of the few ME destinations I've not been to) much appreciated.
It all depends on the time of arrival, if your coming in on BA0125 it gets in at 20:00 (winter schedule) and my last few trips I've found it early and the immigration hall is relatively empty, I've seen a fast track arrivals of sorts but its seldom manned if quiet and I believe rarely enforced. If your later than 22:00 it gets busier with flights from Asia but even a long queue moves quick. My record is 15 minutes from leaving the plane to sat in the taxi (including picking up bags), hoping to beat that this Friday.
Hope your trip goes well, if you need anymore advice just ask
