There's a large UA sign similar to what's at a UA red carpet on the right most of security check points. Generally though, unless a 747-full of people are trying to mass the checkpoint all at once, the airport personnel are a bit lax about maintaining an elite/premium line. This is okay as I'm generally through the UA terminal at JFK in less than 5 minutes from entry into the line to picking up my last item off the conveyor.



You board after First/Business/1K/GS/1P.

2. There is a Priority Security lane at JFK you can use as well. Just look for the signs and remember that the Priority Security lane can be slower than the regular lane at times.

3. Since UA changed their boarding procedure again. I believe you will board last with the 2P's and will use the blue carpet. Remember you have a bunch of people ahead of you and considering it's an elite heavy segment be prepared to wait for a while..
