Last time this happened, I looked at a couple who tried to cut in front of me and asked them if they understood that there were at least 70 passengers in Affairs. They said they had Priority over the Priority line. I kindly told them that if they were Ultimate, they had my sympathy and could stand in front of me (They were clueless about Ultimate) and also if they were flying in First Class and decided to go to the gate by themselves, I also had sympathy for them (They didn't know there was a class above Business). So they ended up cutting in front of someone else.
You are entirely right of course, but the usual problem every SP-eligible pax is facing all the time is that the SP lines are poorly checked and so it’s frequent to have 30-40% of non-eligible pax in this line, hence a frustrating experience and some pax trying to cut the line (not an excuse of course).
