Very interesting read. My girlfriend is American and I am from Ireland, we have had a few close calls.Luckily nothing has happened yet!Heathrow is notoriously bad for deporting people. Just wondering, how did you get bumped up to premium? I have a long flight coming up and trying to see if there are any tricks to getting bumped up for free.

Same boat as you. Never had any close calls before though, went to Ireland recently via Heathrow and had no problem, gave the exact same info. All seems to be down to the officer in charge and the mood they are in. Show up early and dress well for a chance to get bumped up.
