"Premier Access is available to the following customers:

MileagePlus® Premier® members
United First®, United Global FirstSM, United Business® and United BusinessFirst®
Copa Airlines Clase Ejecutiva customers
Star Alliance Gold and Silver members
MileagePlus Club and Presidential Plus credit cardmembers"

Premier Access includes the PA security lane.

Part of the reason most of these are a zoo during peak times :/

I bit the bullet and bought a CLEAR membership earlier this year. Best. Decision. Ever. Monday mornings ~5:45am I get through security in about 3min from the time I do the fingerprint ID to picking up my bags. Only thing better has been pre-check at SEA so we'll see how that gets implemented when/if it rolls out to SFO. In the meantime I would highly suggest CLEAR to any peak-time SFO travelers.

If someone is interested in creating and maintaining such a thread for this forum, please feel free to start one; I am sure it would be greatly appreciated!

This is exactly why we need in-post wikis! It would be so much easier to maintain this sort of list that way, as opposed to one person having to maintain from here through eternity!
