Not sure if this has been updated previously, but the Wiki entry for Lisbon suggests fast track security is for Club Europe only: my experience recently is fast track is also for BA Gold / OWE, but no guests are allowed and it is not available for BA Silver.
My boarding pass was printed with 'Fast Track'; Mrs R is BA Silver and did not have this entry, even though we were on the same booking and her boarding pass otherwise 'associated' with my Gold tier as she got Group 1.

I don’t know Barcelona airport but my partner reported yesterday that as a Gold flying in Euro Traveller the scanner at fast track let her through. Her colleague who is either bronze or blue wasn’t allowed through by the scanner. They were on the same booking. Unsure what interaction with an agent there was, if any.
Perhaps the wiki entry below needs updating?
BCN - Barcelona Boarding: Yes Security: Yes(business class only) - Carril Ràpid is on the left of main security.

Nationally advertised AMEX Platinum perks aren't posted collectively anywhere, but I haven't yet encountered any other limitations, besides the Boingo Wi-Fi. But yes, HEL T2, ARN T2 and T5 (you can anyway walk airside between the terminals, so doesn't matter where you enter security), GOT and MMX.

I think it's now limited to JAL\ANA F pax only for arrivals.

Hi
Does anyone know if there's fast track (non/EU) immigration facility at MAD on arrival, for BA Gold?
Thanks

Just flew out of JFK. As a whole, security had all (6) lanes open with only 1 serving fast track customers at 5:30pm. At 6pm, two of the main lanes shut.
Overall, JFK fast track security isn't very 'fast' but I'd imagine it's better than the normal queue. Anyone wish to add/have other opinions?

Connected through MAD recently, haven't seen any priority lane for non-EU pax and the regular queue seemed rather long during the morning arrivals peak. pax holding EU/EEA biometric passports can use the e-gates.

The vouchers aren't dated, so depending on the general queue length they can be worth hanging onto for future use when not flying F

Yes, they do for F. You might need to remind the crew. The voucher is the only way that you can use the 'Fast Lane' entry line, OW status does not make any difference.
