prophet01 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'll be flying in to HKT (mid December) for the first time since the new terminal opened, UK - Dubai - HKT, using Emirates as usual. Any quirks I should know about or is everything reasonably smooth and straightforward? Cheers Prophet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmitch Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'd suggest you ask nearer the time as with the new terminal things can change almost daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't think Immigration will become friendly, helpful or efficient any time soon. Prepare for a long wait in the arrival hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I just talked to a friend that came in late from China, and he said he was lucky in that there were only 10-15 people in front of him and it was a 35-40 minute wait to clear immigration. He said he was lucky as a few planes arrived after him and the lines were 100+ deep........ Only a couple counters were open and staffed while other staff milled around and did nothing was his report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaalle Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It was a while ago, cant imagine they stopped doing it though considering how much the cash adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Some other friends of mind did the express lane about a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
