A list of airports serving SkyTeam, and whether they have an immigration fast lane on the inbound (if relevant), or a security fast lane on the outbound, and who can gain access.

When travelling entirely within the Schengen zone, there are no immigration controls so the "inbound" column is not relevant.

American airports with SkyPriority are documented by Delta so are not presently included in this list.

If anything more than a valid boarding pass or FF card is needed to gain access to the lane, it will be noted.

Please amend and correct the list according to your experiences.

I've updated the information for LHR, especially since it's different between T3 and T4 since DL is using both.

For those looking for this lane in OSL, its at the opposite end of security from AFKL check-in counters, all the way down to the right when entering the terminal. It is usually very very quick, i usually get through in less than a minute.

Not sure to understand your question. The 2 airports I posted about yesterday are mentioned in the post title. May be are you using a device or FT app on a smart phone which does not display the post titles ?
Anyway, the 1st one was about HND and the 2nd one OSL.

Have updated the Wiki for LHR T4. Since the summer all SkyPriority passengers can use the Fast Track lane at T4 (now also Elite Plus members).

Indeed, I am using the iPhone app of FT where subtitles do not show. and since the previous discussion was centred on LYS I was wondering whether that was the airport you'd write about.
