No, not all rights.
That seems to depend on the airport. Some airports allow you to use the EU lane if you are travelling on your own. Some if you are traveling with your EU spouse, but not otherwise, while some point you to the non-EU queue. There was a thread on this a while back that I will try to find.

Thanks - if you can track down that thread it'll be great. I did a search but didn't find anything substantial for "registered traveller".secret.simon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 7:02 pmNo, not all rights.That seems to depend on the airport.

Do you hold one of the seven nationalities listed in my previous post? Was your question about using the eGates or the EEA citizens queue (where you would still need to interact with an Immigration officer)?
Depend on the Airport. for example in London in Stansted / Luton i used to use ALL PASSPORT because majority of the travellers there are EU nationals.
Also keep in mind that the Settlement Scheme, while applicable to EEA citizens and their family members, is under domestic UK law and is not a status recognised by EU law. Therefore the documentation (if any) issued will not conform to EU legal requirements. If you want that, you will have to apply for the old Residence Card under the EEA regulations.
Based on my experience in last 5 years; (holding residence card/family member of an EEA citizen) I have always been using EU queue - not eGates . (I travel a lot for work) I did not know that I could in first months until one of the border control officers told me that I should use EU line as I am eligible with the permit I hold.secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 10:50 amWorth keeping in mind that some airports will only allow you to join the EEA citizens queue if you are accompanying your EEA citizen sponsor. If you are travelling on your own, they may direct you towards the All Passports queue.

Thank you all for all the insights and advice!

Couple of times when those people helping with landing cards etc. saw my passport and tried to direct me towards all passports but i told them i am a family member of an EEA citizen and then they were ok. Have not had any issues.
I am not sure how it will be when i switch to Settlement Scheme in 1-2 months time.
