Would have shoved them out of the declaring how important I am as A GGL, but don't think they're even flying the same airline.....then again, perhaps they need to be made aware regardless!
To make things worse, my flight is now delayed by 30 mins due to a late incoming aircraft.

I guess this is not an intended path to the gate area though so hopefully hundreds of passengers won't start taking it.

Well unless it has changed since I was last there two weeks ago it was possible. I will check again when I am there next Saturday.

Yes, that's the new extension.
So I have noticed LBA do priority boarding a bit different in that they usually announce boarding to the lounge first and give the folks in there a few minutes to scuttle to the gate, then announce it to the rest of the departures area.
Priority boarding was good. Long queue that just moved forward with no apparent calls.

Other than that you can use the official airport taxi firm Arrow, there is a booking kiosk opposite the entrance to the airport - I have not found them cheap though. Or uber should be fine as well and I have used them.
