AFAIK, no airports in the west have any form of priority for immigrations, except for the usual diplomat/crew line. That has never been a thing for premium class passengers.
Sure, there are several systems in place such as Global Entry in the US, Privium at AMS, and similar systems in other countries. But they are all membership based and usually only open for a select group of people based on nationality.
It's in the east where travelling in J sometimes gets you priority treatment at immigrations, for example in Dubai (if the airline pays for the service), Singapore, New Delhi, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, etc. Not in Europe nor the US.And not in Australia or New Zealand either. I have also never had such priviliges in South or Central America, so it really seems to be an asian thing.
