Fast Track Service EX-HKT?

Many airlines (EK/MH/QR/EY...) offer Coral Executive fast track departure services via local provider Coral Executive. This speeds pax through the diplomatic channel to beat the (mostly) horrendous lines. Does KA do the same? Some input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Apologies, but I was interested in Coral's service at HKT and while searching, came across a reply in another thread that someone posted to you re KA

KA offers nothing. The new airport is a complete cluster.

You have to pray you don't land right after a 747 from Moscow.

Thanks all. I also just confirmed with the airline that KA’s contract DOES NOT include anything but lounge access at the Coral Lounge

Just came back from HKT on the 26th. I can confirm that there is no fast track services provided by Dragonair on both departure and arrival. For arrival, if you use Visa On Arrival you will be dumped into two faster lanes (which took me less than 10 mins) and for departure the queue took me a good 30 mins. Enjoy your trip!

I have discovered (but have no exact costs) that Coral Executive will sell you their services at a lower cost if you specifically book only the fast track departure WITHOUt lounges access (assuming you already have lounge access, or do not require it)...this may be useful.

Sounds like BKK where there are various companies that will sell you BFS arrival services, at a mark-up.

Best to go with the actual service provider.
