Reality: La Première, Ultimate, people in wheelchairs, people who just cut the line, people who think they are important, and then when you arrive in front of the passport control counters there is another line from the right that often cuts in.

It's (usually) still better than not using this line, and in 90% of cases I am through in 2-3 minutes. I have never waited 30 minutes like Goldorak, but 15-20, especially because of people cutting in from all kinds of directions, yes, that has happened.

To be honest, if I were given a choice between

(i) giving us even more priority at passport control in 2E to cut wait times even in those 10% of cases where there is a wait
(ii) being able to get in front of the line at security controls in 2E-K, 2E-L and 2E-M instead of just being dumped at the end of the SkyPriority lane (=have something like in 2F)

then I would prefer option (ii).
