Absolutely! If logistics permit — i.e. you can get by pax to the SP/FC lane — I go up to the FC lane and present my BP. There has never been an issue and I think GAs expect such.
This happens quite a bit with me, especially in ATL where I seem to have an awful lot of tight transfers. I go straight to/through the F lane and I don’t even get funny looks or pushback.
If it’s at a crazy airport where pax are clogged, I’ll just take a seat and chill until I see the last pax or two getting swiped.
