Does the fast-track service work at the airport when departing from Phuket?
Insider's Response
Fast-track is a service for speeding up airport security and document checks. It allows you to go through all control stages without waiting in line and significantly saves time.
The service is also available when departing. You can book it through your tour operator or special services. The cost is around 1,500–2,500 THB.
Advantages of the fast-track service:
● Priority check-in and security screening
● Saving time (and nerves) before the flight
● More time for pleasant things: having a coffee, visiting duty-free, or reading a book
● Convenient when traveling with children or lots of hand luggage
● A comfortable end to your vacation
If you want to spend your time at the airport comfortably, consider visiting business lounges. The list of lounges operating at Phuket Airport is available here.
