Sounds strange as the ADP staff at CDG (IMO) are quite knowledgeable when it comes who can what and when.

Did you depart/arrive on a ST flights and which country do you hold your FBG? If in the US this is not an E+ card and to my knowledge only E+ PAX have access to the fast track (please correct me if I'm wrong someone)...

Same here. I've passed CDG security about a hundred times, they always lead you to the right line.

VIE has priority lane for elites in Y as well as Business Class when going to B gates.

Otherwise the security is just before the gates so no so big hastle

None at LYS for any airline unless you are a Privilys member. Then you cut to the front of the line and get dirty looks from everyone else.

At Manchester T2 the KLM desk put an orange Fastlane sticker on my boarding pass. You could ask them nicely for this.

Fast Track in Oslo Airport

There is no fast track in Oslo for Flying blue members no matter what class or status one is. The only Fast tract there is for Business Class passengers of Scandinavian Airlines System and Scandinavian Airlines System Eurobonus Gold Members.

as FB silver I got the sticker on my Boarding card at Birmingham to AMS flying Y yesterday and could get through security check very fast. (ok they offloaded me again due to the storm in AMS and the resulting delays which prevent all connectiong PAx to stay in UK and fly out today....)

Cheers, Tjobbe.

CDG Acces No 1

I don't know whether this is the correct thread but also related to fast track. As platinum member, they channel me through Access No 1 in Paris for outbound flights. So in this case it is obvious that for elite members, this is available.
However my question relates to the return flight. Are elite (or elite+ members) allowed to go through the Access No 1 channel for immigration when travelling in Y or premium economy?

Definitely. Just show the boarding pass from your arriving flight to the ADP staff.

Only E+ can use the Access No 1 both ways...

Confirmed: access travelling in Y with Plat card at GVA.

Not anymore. They installed new equipment last week which scans the BP and only give access to C pax now.

This is technically true, but not in practice. I fly out of LHR4 in Y quite often, but I make sure to check in in the SkyTeam Business check-in area. This way, my boarding pass is printed on a business class template. Then if I get told that I can't use the FastTrack, I promptly pull out my Plat card and tell them that the check-in lady said I could... works like a charm every time.

Thumbs up LHR T4: Fast track now opened to Elite members

Now access is open to Elite members
Just show your boarding pass, no need to show your Plat card

Any idea if it is the same for passport control when landing at LHR?

Is that official? As in: The sign next to the queue says that Skyteam elites are allowed to use the priority line?
