New E-Gates at Sangster Airport in MoBay

[Corey K]

Dear Boardies,

Any recent experience with the E-Gate?
Arriving on a Saturday afternoon in May and wondering if things are still working smoothly.
I'm on standby with Club Mobay.

Thanks,

I flew in and out for a quick weekend visit 5/17-5/20. I only bring carry on but I don't think I was in the airport for more than 20 minutes once I got off the plane. Very fast. I went to a kiosk in the hallway, got my photo taken and slip, then was ushered to an e-gate instead of an immigration officer. That process was lightning quick. The only people that I saw get held up were those who did not fill out the online customs form prior to landing. I have no idea how they even got on their flight because I was checked at my departure gate in Detroit and then again at my connector gate in Orlando to assure I had filled it out. Only wait I had in Mo Bay was then at customs in the nothing to declare line. Stood there for about ten minutes until it was my turn.

The new system worked good for me as well a few weeks ago. I am coming in January on a Saturday afternoon so I will get Club Mobay to be safe but no doubt its getting better.
