Does CX provide Fast track coupon to J passengers at BKK?
Pardon some basic questions as I very seldom go to Thailand.
If a passengers flies CX J to BKK I would assume that he gets a fast track coupon, correct? I am asking because I just read from New fast track Policies that possibly not all airlines do so.
Next question is whether a fast track coupon helps much in terms of queuing at immigration - arrival will be about midnight. If queues are long, is there a fast track service that is worth using?
Thank you.

My last trip(12/17) from HKG - BKK do issue fast tack coupon for J.
I have not used nor observed the standard line(complete difference entrance from Fast Track) for immigration in BKK but from what I heard, it's based on your luck. Sometimes fast track can take longer due to lots of passengers using Fast Track coupon. BTW, on arrival, Fast Track entrance has more walking distance as compared with Standard line.

Flew CX HKG-BKK in J on 8/29 and was given a fast track coupon onboard. Flew PE on the way back and was given a fast track coupon at BKK check-in for being a OWE.

Yes you do get a fast track coupon. Just to let you know the fast track counters are in a totally separate area from the regular immigration counters. Entrance is further over. I have found usually its pretty quick, but that just may be my luck..

Since you will have to walk a little further to the fast track immigration area, you will pass by the normal immigration queues. If the queues look short, I will just go for it and skip the extra walk to the fast track area.

Yes, you will definitely get a fast-track coupon on CX J.
Since you will have to walk a little further to the fast track immigration area, you will pass by the normal immigration queues. If the queues look short, I will just go for it and skip the extra walk to the fast track area.

For departures, it is the opposite around, the immigration area to the side of concours EFG is the less used one (due to the layout/location of the LH international check-in area's. So, after check-in move all the way to the other side of the departure hall and your immigration handling will be fast

Yup. As a diamond when I fly to BKK in Y sometimes I have to politely remind the ISM. I finally got Thailand on my APEC Card though so dont really need this anymore!
