Booger - I took a whole bunch on Sunday - hub will be taking the "pro" shots sometime this week...and I know I'll be back many more times in the next few months - count on there being lots of pix
Richard - welcome to the Yellow Board! OK, the scanners are on the left side of the hall, next to the CaribCom (Residents) section. I am not a resident nor do I think they are for the residents. What happened was we grudgingly got on the immigration line and noticed the scanners. We asked one of the workers about using them - they wanted to know which airline we flew in on (?) - while they were thinking about it we got off the line and made our way over. As far as I know, any tourist can use it.
I came in the Sunday before Thanksgiving at around 3:00pm - we fly First Class and were off the plane first. The line at immigration was bigger than I'm used to (I usually fly in and land on a Tuesday morning) but not "extreme" like up the ramp. I'd toyed with the idea of booking Club MoBay but in the end I'm really glad I didn't.
As season gets busier after the 15th of December those Sunday arrivals will probably pack that hall. The scanners are just one more option. Personally I'd rather have the Club MoBay money to spend in Negril. Its up to you though....if you hit it right it seems to save quite a bit of time.
