I plan to have hand baggages only, and if possible use my kids to go through priority lanes for customs aso (is that possible BTW ?)....
Do you think it can work ? And is your recommendation to grab a taxi or use the free shuttle ?
Thks for your help
I dont believe there are such thing as priority lines at customs. My last experience landing at 10am was that immigration was kinda light, therefore, you may make it to your T3 flight. But at best, i would say its only 50% chance, even if the immigration line is light, you would still have to get a taxi to go from T1 to T3 and unless its sunday, traffic will be heavy. i highly recommend you changing your flight. Otherwise, good luck and happy travels!
