US e entry to UK pp control

[zqtchas]

Has anybody tried this?  It said on the Heathrow that it is usable, if I read it right.

Good luck with trying, out of the previous 4 entries the e-gates have rejected my passport 3 times. They are notoriously unreliable.

Does your pp work to enter the US with Global Entry?

We have never thought it worthwhile to apply for GE. When we flew into Seattle a few years back they worked fine with the scanning m/c’s.

Yes, my UK passport works consistently with Global Entry but like Mr Silver it has been rejected more often than accepted by the e gates at LHR.

My husband (not me) has this problem all the time, his passport has never been e-accepted. So as you approach the e-gates, you can see just beyond them (after the last one) a small queue for a real person, and he goes straight to that.

Having gone through Heathrow P/P control last 5/18/22 the lines were amazingly short.

Observed many people going through the e gates. US global entry is eligible to use, so 

said our processor. How ever the best way is the wheelchair way, so he said.

Thanks for the heads up. We are flying through LHR to Lisbon next month to board the Wind. Read your issues with the Lisbon Airport.  Can’t say I’m excited about a 2.5 hour ordeal.
