Hey Boardies -
Any input on the new Kiosks? We are arriving next Saturday at noon. Not sure how to check to see how many fights are arriving then, but imagine it would be a bunch. We are all coming from the U.S. - do you think we will be hours in customs, or do the kiosks make things easier - just curious if the investment in Club MoBay is worth it.
Thanks!
Mid afternoon Friday or Saturday I have always seen it busy even with kiosks. If your going with Club MoBay do it fast. Our friends couldn't get it on a Saturday for two weeks from now and they tried to book a month ago. I've arrived just before noon and immigration wasn't busy at all.
So I'm a bit confused - if we are arriving at noon (as you just did) do you think we are OK without spending the extra money on Club MoBay?
I like Club MoBay arrival service because it eases an otherwise very stressful day of travel. They treat you like royalty and worth every penny in my opinion.
You can use this app http://www.flightstats.com/go/Home/home.do to track how many flights are arriving. I think you'll find that Saturday will be the most congested.
This year we arrived at 12:30pm...and there was nearly no one in line. This was a first. We landed and were out of there, with luggage in less than 15 minutes. It is a crap shoot at best, but if you arrive fairly early, it should be a breeze. I have been there many times when a "pass" would have really helped...but this year, so glad we didn't waste the money. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
Sorry to confuse...When we arrive early no problem with immigration lines. When we arrive after 2pm we have always found lines and now use Club MoBay.
In order to use Immigration Kiosks, EVERYONE in the party must 18 or older. We used them in June 2015, long lines at immigration counter, but we got through in 10 minutes with the Kiosks.
There is definitely some kind of sorting process when it comes to the kiosks... I think it might have someone to do with whether your flight is direct/nonstop.... I could be way off! I used the kiosk last year. With CMB I was put at the front of the line.
I like CMB for a variety of reasons, but mostly the service. The fast track is definitely bonus when it works in your favor! I enjoy the departure lounge, too.
I fly in and out on Saturdays in late April/early May. This year arrival will be early, around 10:30, so I don't think there will be much in the way of fast track, but I'll be ahead of most of the people on my flight at least.
You who are using CMB had better not also be engaged in long conversations here about how to save 40 cents on a case of Red Stripe! :)
Bwahahahaha.... that was funny. ;)Quote:

The departure lounge and experience even better but this thread was only about arrival process.
Yes we do use CMB AND are still interested on how to save 40 cents on a case of Red Stripe ! ! ! Forty cents here and forty cents there and next thing you know CMB is FREE ! !
