Express Path Inbound AU

Does anyone know if TG provides inbound Express Path passes when travelling in F or J to Australia?

Brilliant. What's the hit rate like in terms of them "running out" or "they didn't get loaded"?

More likely there will be no line at C&I and you won't need it.

inbound queues are rarely long at Mel. I find no need for it now we have e gates for AU and NZ passports

Fast track SYD

Recent visit: egates not working, all passengers entered express Q and officials just let them. Less than 10% had a visible express card. However still got to the belt before any luggage arrived so didn't really matter.

If you're on 471 arriving in SYD at 9.35pm there wont be any other flights in at that time and you are in F and first off the plane you wont need the pass anyway. I had one but was the first person through. From Plane to taxi in 35 minutes, must be a record.

Arrived 7:20 am today in SYD.
Got Fast Path Voucher on the plane. No special assistance for F passengers.
Immigration had pretty long lines but was moving fast.
Had to wait for the luggage around 10 min (seems that the delvered crew baggage first, then lots of non-priority and finally priority bags.
In Taxi around 40 min after docking.
Nobody was checking for the fast path vouchers.

You can't use the Express Path, though if you have anything to declare at customs. The large supply of chocolates ruled us out.
