I wonder what the purpose of this is:
a) the passport could be checked and the BP could be reissued at the lounge or gate
b) the security check could be done at the lounge (if they still do this?) or gate
c) only unique benefit is that they can inform you of any gate or itinerary changes
But in general it would seem to be quicker to ignore this precheck and go straight to the lounge/gate?
