No USA airports though? And, while the Heathrow by invitation looks a bit expensive for a single traveller there are actually quite compelling offers in there. It all depends... there was a time when I considered money spent to be the main driving force behind choosing options but now I see the "time is money" argument very well. Freelancing and billing by the hour makes it clear.

BRAMER USA & BRAMER TOURS.

Southern and the Bay area California, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Not exactly sure but out of Torrance, California I believe.

Good vehicles, attentive service 24x7, bi-lingual, and the staff know the restaurants, hotels, nightlife, shortcut around traffic, and scenic attractions. Clean vehicles without the hint of smoke. Excellent for business connections, and most importantly they will wait for a late or delayed flight. Time IS money.

I am posting here whenever I find one. And tonight, I found a lot! https://speedpass.yqever.com/ You need Visa Infinite / Signature / Platinum card. http://www.diamond-air.co.uk/ covers Heathrow for the tenth of what Heathrow by Invite wants (and many more airports but Heathrow is indeed a problem and they emphasize it). http://www.asiafasttrack.com/ for Asia. China based http://www.chinafasttrack.com/service_en.html but worlldwide.

USA Fast Track Services
I've been using this company for a few months now and they provide expedited customs/immigrations for myself and partner every time. I just used their services for an LAX arrival and I was met at the door of the aircraft and out of customs in two minutes, their website is www.myeta.biz

excellent to have comment on FT ^^

i became aware of them earlier this/last month, because there is a (major) hotel that recently began offering expedited immigration, and it seems myeta is the provider they use

i read that they are the first/only to offer expedited immigration in continental US
i thought it was actually on their website, but im not seeing it now, or in the screengrabs i took previously
(i said continental US because it seems like its never been a problem in hawaii, lots of companies mention)

Wow... that's a great find! I always assumed that such service was impossible in the USA due to security theatre/paranoia.

I have contacted myETA and they replied in a very professional way and they quoted USD 400 for 2 at LAS. I told them that I'm fine with the rates and provided my flight details and unfortunately they didn't reply despite 2 or 3 (maybe 4 reminders) over 2 weeks. Too bad as the guy there was very good. That's happened last month
