If I use TSA Pre-Check, can I still enter security through the first class line?

I have just signed up for TSA Pre-Check, but am having second thoughts about the advantages. I almost always travel first class (no, I'm not paying for that myself!) and thus have access to the first class security lines. If I use TSA Pre-Check, do I still enter security through the first class line? Conversely, if I enter security through the first class line, will I still have access to TSA Pre-Check?

Best Answer

Not every airport has a first class security line and likewise not every airport has a TSA Pre. BUT you will still get your TSA Pre perks at these airports, but not first class perks.

Of course if you only fly from major airport to major airport then there maybe no benefit.

I have TSA Pre plus other priority options and usually just pick whichever line is shortest.

Even if you're approved, there are times when you can't go through PreCheck. Because not all airlines participate in the program, if you book on a non-TSA PreCheck carrier, you will still have to go through the regular security line.

Can you go through TSA PreCheck if its not on your boarding pass?

Participating airlines display a TSA PreCheck\xae indicator directly on your boarding pass if you are eligible for TSA PreCheck\xae based on your provided Known Traveler Number (KTN).
