Hi - I'm entering the US at LAX shortly. I am looking for any ways of easing the pain of entering the US on an Australian passport. Was wondering whether anyone had any experience with one of the concierge services that offer to get you through immigration at LAX on a priority basis? Also there seems to be no way of getting priority for security lines etc for domestic US flights on an Australian passport. Any tips?

Never heard of a concierge service to expedite US immigration. Interested, but sceptical.
The only way I'm aware of getting 'priority' through security lines in the USA is to have TSA 'Precheck', which used to sometimes be awarded on check-in to I think high status flyers on various airlines, including Qantas, but I think they cut that.
LAX isn't the horror it used to be, if your last experience was +3 years ago.
