I flew Peking to BKK for the Chinese NY holiday, business class with China Airlines.
Didn't get a fast-track ticket for arrival but although the airport was very busy, using the TV monitors above the immigration halls allowed me to pick the lighter of the 2 and I only had to wait a few mins to pass through immigration. Baggage hall and the taxi queues were mobbed though and I had a to wait 10-15 mins there.
On the way back to Beijing the check-in girl gave me a fast-track card and it was bliss, straight through, even beating the airline crews. The 'normal' queue for immigration was at least 50-75m outside the area and looked to be taking a good while.
On the Beijing to BKK route, a business class ticket is 1000 RMB more than an economy seat. Well worth it in my opinion.
