I would like to buy 3 FastTrack Arrivals Lane at Heathrow Passes. Thinking being that EU citizens only use the EU line and could request a Landing Card and Pass onboard and simply not use it and make a little money.

Let me know. Of course in accordance to all forum rules.

Fascinated by this - we've always been told "No" when asking for FastTrack as EU. Be good if it worked 'cos frequently EU is chocka first thing.

Don't tell anyone I told you, but you can just go in the EU line then duck under the rail at the top of the line where it turns the corner - its quite difficult to be seen there.

I do that, sorry I mean I have a friend who does that, all the time.

That's probably the worst thing that would happen. The worst thing that COULD happen is to be refused entry and your passport stamped up accordingly.
I was told a long time ago - NEVER mess with Immigration / Customs Officials in any country - they really can spoil your day [:(]

Nick

Well yea - That would spoil my day. I saved mine as there was no one in line at all. I was the first one off the plane but still I was surprised. PE would be 100 times better IMHO with FastTrack esp. for Non-EU people.

As an EU passport holder I've never got a fast track into London.
One time however I was flying from BOS in UC and a friend of mine (US) was in the back. I explained the situation and they gave me a fasttrack for him! we both used fast track so we stayed together.

To be fair though its easy enough to say you have a none EU passport and they'll give you one anyway!

On a simular note I sometimes dont use fasttrack going out (its sometimes closed first thing)
has anyone removed the sticker without destroying their BC? Obviously could be useful for someone else on another flight..

Didn't get a sticker last time (10.4.05) - SO I went for the slow track entrance - lady there 'threw me out' saying no - you go fastrack - so it would seem to be done on BC alone now[?]

UPDATE on return trip I conducted a scientific experiment - played dumb and took pink ticket - used it to enter lane when the UK que was level with the fasttrack chanel entrance and took note of the pax who would have been in front of me - naturally they emerged slightly faster than me[:I]

I have two LHR fast track (brilliant neon) passes--not sure why--either they weren't collected or we were given two sets. Any interest?

Apparently customs officials (in Britain anyway) have more power than the police, so I think it would be wise not to mess with them!;)

Looking for Two Fast Track tickets for Gatwick in April.

Using up my Miles with Delta before Chap. 11 screws things up.[:w]
When e-mailing this question Delta said, get this!

Delta currently has not implemented any automation such as the "Advanced Passenger Information System", or (APIS), which allows passengers to expedite through immigration upon entry into the United Kingdom.

I don't think she even knew what I was talking about. So much for Business Elite!

Now I know why I always fly Virgin.
If you have some Fast Track tickets that would be wonderful.

Thanks Alan
