I can't recall if TK is on the list but there is a very clear sign before you enter the fast-track funnel.
As far as I remember the ARN fast-track is shared with the airport express lane, and not a separate line like in CPH. This is properly why there are multiple airline logos, and not just SAS like in CPH.

Darn the detour especially when arriving from domestic flight from terminal 4.
Well then, I don't have experience of the other way around if you fly TK in Y but have SK*G - do you then access the left TK-fasttrack or do you go right end at SK fast-track?
This is not first world problem, fast track is the most important elite perk for me at least
Try the priority lane as they call it in DUS. As soon as your boarding card has been scanned, you end up in the same queues as everyone else. So far I haven't been able to get through security in DUS in less than 30 min. :-(

They even said our cards are not Star Alliance cards, although their manual has a big TK G logo on it. After arguing for 3 minutes they let us through as a courtesy.
I hope TK doesn't pay CPH for this.
ARN fast track sounds weird - I'll experience that next time for my really weird itinerary: MMX-ARN-CPH-IAD-CPH-ARN-MMX, save 500 SEK per ticket for doing 4 extra unnecessary legs.
So in ARN, I need to use SK's fast-track if I have TK G?
You have to separate *G and airline fast track. If there is a *G logo you are allowed access not matter which airline as long as your are flying on a *A airline and your are *G. If there only is an airline logo, you only have access if you are flying on that airline in a class that allow you access. *G wont help you here.
Regarding security in ARN. Unless you plan exit the airport you wont have to go though security. You only have to pass passport check when transferring from your CPH to your IAD flight at ARN. You can properly even get your luggage checked the whole way in MMX.

Officer said "ah, you should use SAS fast track" and I said no, they require SAS card. And he said "OK, let me check my database for your card. Sorry no, it is not accepted".
In the end he let me through, but very strange to having fast track not working sometimes despite it should.
Unless there is a *G logo, you *G status wont help you at all, and unless you are flying on a A3 flight, you are not allowed to use the A3 fast track, but flying on a SK flight you would properly have been able to use the SK fast track with your *G status. At least in the past they have been large on that.
