Thanks!

At least for the Schengen Zone, the BNO passport is not considered as facilitating the same mobility allowances or rights as that which comes by way of most EU and/or Schengen Zone country's passport for citizens of the EU and/or Schengen countries. Technically at Schengen airports at least they could say you are in the wrong line if using a BNO passport when doing as you mention above.

Sometimes -- more at some airports than at airports -- they don't care; but at other times and/or places, they may make an issue about it in some small way or another.
