Update - and I'm tempted to start a new thread.
Business associate of mine went though LAX on Tuesday this week and apparently there is an new immigration hall operating at LAX (apologies if this is old news, but new to me). Same basic set-up, but new area ... part of the refurbishment.
Pax, a QFF plat, travelling QF J on disembarking got an Express Card thrust into his hand by agent at the air bridge, printed with his name, QF member #, arrival flight, and connection flight (Westjet to Canada). His connection wasn't 'tight' - 2 hours which for a J pax is usually plenty.
The express card enabled him to use a USA citizens lane in the (new) arrivals immigration hall, and got him through LAX arrivals in 10 minutes.
Coupled with the other reports in this thread, I think we are seeing the long hoped-for better LAX transit.
If so, hooray!!\
Any other reports of plat/J pax on QF getting express card, as per other airports?
