Number one is that they time will come when there is no choice.
I would rather spend two hours at home (as it did my first time!) than two hours standing in a queue on arrival.
I just did this and I don't recommend it.
Not everyone is entitled to the oldies queue.
If you take the ECD application for example, do you do on line or on arrival?
My firm recommendation is for all ages of people to try to navigate the process and get as much prepared as possible before arrival.
I respect your choice to do otherwise, as I do those who don't do the Customs form before arrival.
I am just relieved to walk past the confused queues, straight to the smart gates and out to walk through Customs.
My pick up friend is also much relieved when I am through so quickly.
