Fast Track Arrival Service at the Airport
After the TDAC, is it even necessary? If we do decide to go for it, please name a reputable service with link because there are so many companies offering this service. is there a Government or airport or airline sponsored service or all private fast Track VIP arrival program?
There is no connection between the new TDAC and fast track immigration. You may or may not be stuck in an immigration queue depending on various factors regardless of whether you have diligently completed your TDAC online.
Unless you have fast track immigration because of flight class or airline status then you will need to pay.
Fast track immigration might get you through immigration quicker than through normal immigration but there is no guarantee.
Even if you get to the baggage carousel quickly you could still be waiting 10/20/30 minutes,possibly even longer, to collect your checked baggage.
If you get through immigration quickly, you will then have to wait for your luggage.
So often a waste of money.
If im waiting bags its beer time. U could also grab a seat,coffee,soda or snacks.
#3, in the baggage area? Never noticed that but l usually just grab my bag and go.
Over 70s get free fastrack. With kids you get it. Any disability.
Sometimes queue longer than ordinary with all the spurious eligibility (I had 2 audits and 2 kids in front of me last time that were definitely not babes in arms).

#3/#6 No there are no refreshments in the baggage collection area
Is fast track worth it? I get it for free and always get through quickly but I would say if you are happy queueing and getting your luggage more quickly in the baggage hall then no but for me I would rather sit on a seat in the baggage hall than queue in immigration often cursing because the other queue is moving quicker then yes
Have a look at this company: https://www.sawasdeepass.com. We used them previously and found them to be very good.

Ahh another option rather then waiting in line.
