Can OZ *G use the "Express Lanes" at PDX when flying on UA? I can see on PDX's website that UA & AC elites are eligible, but I am not sure if the same applies to non-UA/AC *G. On a related note, does anyone have recent experience on security there? Should I budget 90-120 minutes if I don't want to miss my flight?

How's the UC (assuming the proposed named change hasn't occurred yet) there? Similar to other domestic UCs?

TIA.

Your boarding pass will say Premier Access so yes you can use the premium security lane just as you can at any other airport... I assume you don't have TSA Pre-Check (which would definitely speed things along). The Club there is small and they only serve beer & wine, no hard liquor due to archaic Oregon laws that prohibit it. But there are nice views..the food area is also small so their food selection isn't quite as large as at a hub, but there are snacks. I can't predict how long the security line will be.. it's been bad at several US airports lately. But you will get to use the premium lane.
