TL;DR
At Cam Ranh Airport, Fast Track is usually worth it only during peak arrival and departure times: escort through lanes 2/3 is typically the quickest option, while the cheaper “regular line” option often still uses the normal queue. Lane 4 is often inactive, so it’s not worth paying extra unless the provider confirms it is open.
For departures from Cam Ranh, Fast Track is mainly useful during busy periods when multiple charter and international flights leave around the same time. Outside peak hours, the time saved is often small, so the extra fee may not be worth it.
On arrival, the clearest and usually fastest option is escort through lanes 2/3, often described as diplomatic or priority lanes. This is the best choice if you want to leave the airport as quickly as possible, especially when several flights land at once.
The cheaper option labeled “regular line” usually does not give you a separate immigration channel: you may still be met and assisted, but passport control is done through the normal queue. If the terminal is crowded, this will generally be slower than lanes 2/3.
Lane 4 appears in some Fast Track listings, but it is often inactive. If it cannot be selected during booking or is marked unavailable, it is safest to assume that only the regular line and lanes 2/3 are actually operating.
