I fly a couple of times a week and this happens almost every single time. Brussels is particularly bad - especially since 75% of the passengers seem to qualify for fast track boarding.

Given that BA do absolutely nothing about queue jumpers (unlike Ryanair/Easyjet who seem to understand that this and hand luggage rules actually sometimes require enforcement), what do you do when this happens? Quietly fume but say nothing? Grumble to gate staff who pretend to sympathise? Make some noise but accept that the VIP queue jumpers will always win? Jump the queue yourself?
