HKG Immigrations Question
Hi! Would someone be able to tell me if I'm traveling C Class on U, can I use the expidiated immigrations line or to I have to wait with the masses in the regular immigrations line? Thanks!

There are no elite/premium cabin lines for immigration at HKG. Either HK resident or visitor IIRC.

Dream on, no special line at HKG. Been there, done that.

You can use the HK expedited immigration line if you have HKID.

Presumably, he doesn't have an HKID - otherwise he would not be here asking the question. |
If you're traveling with someone who has an HKID, the agents usually have no problem processing.
|
If you have an APEC card then you may also use the resident's line.
Cards are available subject to eligibility rules, but I'm guessing that the OP is a US citizen and as far as I know, they are not yet issuing ABTCs to US citizens. |
Actually there has been a new development in this area in the last few weeks, if you have status with some airlines:
http://www.ausbt.com.au/fast-track-f...g-kong-airport "Members of frequent flyer schemes from over 30 airlines qualify for free membership in the Hong Kong government’s Frequent Visitor programme. This lets you use the Frequent Visitor e-Channel – an automated immigration lane similar to Australia’s SmartGate system – at Hong Kong airport, as well as the Shenzhen Bay immigration checkpoint and ferry terminals for Macau and China." |
