OK, I'll buy that too. But somehow I don't think the diplomat or the undercover Bill Gates gambits are going to work for the OP.....so it seems that on this issue, we are concluding that M&G for mere mortals saves some physical effort and maybe time getting from plane to Immigration, but then....what?
