DL operated by AS - Precheck?
Just booked a roundtrip, DCA-LAX-OAK-LAX-DCA, with the LAX-OAK (and reverse) portions on Delta, but the cross country flight is on AS 5, DCA-LAX, but I booked on DL.com as DL 9250.
I'll be fine on the return because my first segment (OAK-LAX) is a DL flight, so I can just check in with DL and my precheck will appear. But when flying AS DCA-LAX, I assume I will check in with Alaska, correct?
With this being the case, will my precheck (realizing it's never 100%, but if we could not split hairs) be seen when I check in on Alaska with my skymiles number? My known traveler number is obviously on my DL account, but I don't even have an Alaska account, so what will happen when I check in for AS?
And on a side note, will my Platinum Amex still get me into the DCA Sky Club on this DCA-LAX-OAK itinerary?

You will check in with AS. I highly doubt your known traveler # will transfer to AS. What you need to do is find the AS PNR (which you can get by calling Alaska), go to your reservation on the AS website using that PNR, and add your known traveler # there.
