flying US to UK via Amsterdam
Will this work when we land in Amsterdam? It's non-stop PDX to AMS and then a hopper to HUY. Have heard AMS is now very slow and concerned about making our connection. A friend who recently took this flight said if you didn't have an EU passport they were understaffed and very slow.

The UK expedited entry scheme doesn't seem to be available at HUY so it would do you no good and the LHR Fast Track immigration lane is not available to UK nationals. So trying the UK manual line seems to be the best bet in either place.

This thread seems to be for entry into the US. I'm looking to Fast Track into UK. My husband and I live in the US. He has his greencard and UK born passport. I have only US passport. In lieu of getting separated at customs will the UK FastTrack system make my life easier. We will be going at least annually US to UK to visit family.
Any help appreciated.

Thank you all. Your answers have been very helpful. I didn't recall going through customs in Amsterdam and your response clarifies this. HUY being a smaller airport is really not a problem.
I did wonder about the Registered Traveller Scheme but it is rather confusing. It may be just the answer when we retire and want to divide our time between both home countries.

CBP Launches Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival
Has the press release linked below been discussed anywhere on FT yet?
The basic summary is that if you have applied for Global Entry and need to book an interview, you can instead complete this as part of your CBP entry at the 5 listed airports - thus you don't need to book a specific appointment, just get in the relevant queue that can deal with it and get it all sorted at once.
Certainly saves a bit of hassle if it fits with your travel plans!

Hi. Not sure if anyone will know the answer to this, and I'm not really sure if it's an ESTA or Global Entry question.
I have dual nationality: British & Irish. I only received my Irish passport recently. I also have Global Entry on my British passport, and an ESTA for travel to the US.
If I went to Iran on my Irish passport, I gather that this would exempt me from getting an ESTA, even on my British passport, in future. I would need a visa. However, would this also invalidate my Global Entry? Or would that continue to work if I got a visa?
Or would I just be able to keep getting an ESTA on my British passport and everything would be fine, as the Iran visa would be in my Irish passport?

However, I've seen discussion (although nothing substantial) about GE sometimes allowing you to retain VWP privileges in certain situations when visiting such countries.

Using multiple passports won't work as you're still the same person. Visit Iran on any passport and you'll lose your VWP privileges.

I do believe that if you get a visa, you can head to a registration centre and revalidate your GE though without having to reapply.
