One of the benefits of US airline elite status: when flying from Europe to the US, there are reduced chances of getting an additional gate screening of person and/or hand baggage.


At LHR gates for the US-bound flights on AA, it's quite ordinary for those with AA elite status to be allowed to pass unmolested due to the AA elite status.
