What is a tad more awkward, but I still use it, are the express boarding lanes. If you enter the express boarding lane and they will ask the regular line to stop boarding and call you over to board.
I think the key point here is that you waited to be called - rather than just jumping into an unmanned queue and pushing unbidden into the front of the general line at the first opportunity.
I think all pax understand that there are premium services for people who have paid premium prices (not sure they all understand the concept of frequent flyer status) and accept this. What is galling, though, is if you are in a general queue for a desk that is not marked as premium and someone decides to create their own premium service by pushing in front of you without being called by the agent.
