I asked for a fast track immigration pass this summer in PE and they gave me one, but the FA definitely didn’t know if she would be able to help me and it took long enough I thought I’d been silently denied, so it’s something I’d sort of expect if you’re polite but wouldn’t count on if anything but some time was at stake.
This. Fast Track security when departing LHR is no issue at all for PM+. So long as your DL# is on the ticket, access is coded into your BP which you just scan at the door.
Fast Track through immigration when arriving at LHR is a little more iffy, though almost always successful IME when you politely ask the FAs. You must get the Fast Track pass while on board however - in the immigration hall there is a line dragon and they are quite strict in guarding the line.
