Annoyingly, the fast track has not been available to BA status or Club passengers for quite a while.
Fast track boarding is plainly idiotic at Budapest. They board Club and status passengers at the same time as the back rows of the plane.
BA need to get a grip on being consistent - At BUD there is usually now a BA employee at the gate as well as the (useless) Celebi staff, so there should be no excuse.
