There's no point the OP whining about getting priority treatment for WTP passengers when in practice BA can't even provide this to its F and Gold pax at its main hub, LHR T5.

I can't say that I've once felt that the Fast Track lane at T5 was noticeably faster than the regular lanes. Sometimes it is slower.

Some airlines can manage it well, at least at their hubs. It works perfectly for F pax at BKK on TG for example, who are personally escorted through every stage from kerbside to lounge, and from lounge to bum on seat on plane; and don't have to queue behind anyone anywhere. They have to deal with hundreds of F pax each day. I bet their C pax get decent treatment too, but I haven't actually seen that.

There are plenty of other examples. BA even used to manage it pretty well at LHR T1.
