Obviously use of the E-Gates is available to other nationalities now too, so my wife (US citizen) can use them when we arrive from the USA. Having seen the queues at immigration at BRU for those passengers without EU passports I'd hate to be in that boat now.

We can’t automatically use the EU line from 01 Jan but individual countries / airports may allow other citizens to use those lines, as they can at LHR. I’m trying to think where I have seen it, and it’s definitely somewhere I’ve been this year, but I saw a UK flag next to an EU flag, AUS, JPN flag - indicating that we could use the lines post this year?

EDIT: I’ve said above that UK citizens can’t automatically use EU lines, I haven’t read the exit agreement so may be wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️
