This is not correct. You do not need to get a EEA Family Permit, especially if you have a US or Canadian passport.Imshzd wrote:Before travel to uk you have to apply EEA family permit.
Once to get the EEA family permit then you can join any queue.
BUT
you may try your luck with out UK EEA family permit if air line staff allow you to board in the flight.

Thank you for the reply.
Perhaps I was not clear enough.
I am not moving to the UK, just traveling. They would not issue me an EEA Family Permit as I am not joining my EU family member in the UK, nor is my EU family member traveling with me.
I am just trying to see if I can save the hassle of standing in the non-eu immigration queue at Heathrow on my increasingly frequent trips to London.
The reason I ask is that when I fly from outside the EEA to anywhere in the EEA thus far, I can go into the EU passport queue with my residency card. For example, when I fly from the USA to Portugal, or to Netherlands I just queue with the EU line show them my passport and residency card and they wave me through, they don't even stamp my passport.
I am wondering if this is also the case when flying into the UK for a visit.
