I'm using the Passenger liner as well, and I usually have no trouble getting through even the worst lanes (i:e those where the next lane is on the opposite elevation of the one you came from). In fact, it's one of the most agile liners.
It's mostly a matter of time before you find the correct way of flying it, though. The trick I found for myself is to always dock manually and line it up with strafing movements. Takes a bit of time, granted, but the ship's worth the tradeoff for me, personally. Liners are a bit different to the other transports; even the 5kers aren't that much of a bother compared to the likes of the Luxury Liner, despite usually being less agile. It's mainly the size which screws it over with lanes. If you can't get it lined up, try heading for the next lane ring and line it up on the way. Look through the rings and make sure the next one's near the middle of the one you're heading through, that usually does the trick. Using pilot view makes it a breeze.
I wonder how can you call all this meticulous positioning thing easy. And it still feels like you are having an easier time than me. Is it only my ship that just flies to the right or left side of the lane and gets stuck, unless I somehow manage to find a working angle with godly luck?
