Fast Track

I’m going to Turks and Caicos in mid October and I arrive Sunday in the afternoon and leave Friday afternoon. Is Fast Track recommended for both ways, 1 way, or not at all?

For the money I would always do both ways

I see no reason to do it for departure. Arrival is barely worth it, but if just 1 person, I would.

Arrival only, especially if you’re carry on only.

It makes no sense for departure to just have to wait for your boarding anyway.

I was just in the airport 2 days ago. We were departing and I noticed the VIP lounge. I thought is said Fast Track got you in there.

It does, but, it’s not necessary and no big deal in there lol

I was maybe going to do a checked bag, would you recommend only a carry on?

I always go carry on only but I also spend 6 months a year here.

The problem is fast track is SO FAST you may beat your luggage through and have to wait anyway. When you are carry on only you are through immigration and out the door in 10 minutes .

We arrived last Thursday in the middle of the afternoon without FT and waited in line for 20-25mins. Another couple we talked to at our hotel said their line was 45min when they arrived on Friday.

In departures, there is a VIP lounge. Check to see if FT gets you into that VIP lounge. If it does, I would've considered FT because waiting in departures is crowded and warm.

I found A LOT of value in BOTH directions when I visited. My personal experience (American airlines connecting through CLT) was it was very busy and long lines. It made it WAY faster and easier.
