Same here. I had better luck, though, when flying Star Alliance and specifically with my SK’s D card (and I’m relatively sure this is not EB/*A benefit either, especially at BHX). That aside and FYI for those (Sky Priority ‘holders’) departing from my home airport (WAW) with a companion: staff at the priority access point at the far end of CDE (i.e. not the one closer to the AF/KL check-in desks) are normally more flexible compared to their colleagues, possibly just luck (as both fast tracks are manned by staff reporting to the same firm) but just a data point after my weekly visits and reports from other colleagues.
