The last time I took the same flight was early this year while CX just moved from T7 to T8..there was no priority line for the premium flight and CX was not part of Pre-check, it took almost one hour on the security checking that I almost missed my flight. But I remember the Pre check on the right was also pretty long as well. I just wonder which way would be saving more time?

You can not use Flagship First Check-in as it is technically not possible and AA no longer allows it even in the particular scenarios where it was technically possible (connecting from AA to CX on same ticket)

There is F/J security lane in T8 in addition to PreCheck and general security screening.
