Is a 3-hour connection at Phu Quoc International Airport enough, and should I book Fast Track during peak season?

TL;DR
A 3-hour connection is usually workable at Phu Quoc International Airport, but winter arrival queues can be heavy when 4–5 flights land within 30 minutes. Fast Track can be worthwhile for international connections involving immigration and checked baggage.
Fast Track may not need to be booked in advance: according to a traveler report, priority processing can be offered at the airport for about US$10 per person. In March, the regular passport-control queue took around 40 minutes, so if you are not in a rush, assess the queues after arrival first.
During the winter high season, Phu Quoc International Airport can become congested when 4–5 aircraft arrive within 30 minutes. Travelers often pre-book Fast Track to get through airport formalities more quickly.
For a 3-hour connection at Phu Quoc Airport, allow time for disembarking, immigration queues, collecting baggage and checking it in again. If your flights are on separate tickets, Fast Track is especially useful in peak season.
For a short Phu Quoc break, flying in, staying two nights and flying back is more practical than adding extra overland travel. With this itinerary, check the connection time and baggage rules for both airlines in advance.
