I wonder if anybody here has ever used the departure THAI business class ‘fast track’ when holding TG*G and flying in business on another *A carrier? (rather than TG*G flying Y on TG).

A quick update from yesterday afternoon - pleasantly surprised to see that all the BOI, families with kids, etc nonsense is gone from the big sign at the entrance to Fast Track (arrivals). It is replaced by business and first class, and there were even two ladies enforcing handing over of vouchers at the entrance. Progress! ^

I would not even do it with my Platinum Card as in this case I get a voucher for the fast track...

I am booking business class through TG but one of my segments (inbound to BKK) is WE (Thai Smile) which doesn't have business class but premium/plus. Will I still get the fast track voucher on the flight to BKK?

Came in last night and, as noted upthread, there were agents at the entrance to the Fast Track lane collecting passes.
Don't know if there was a direct correlation, but lines were much reduced. I was through in less than five minutes (at around 11:30 pm).
