I have TSA pre, but I think I'm right in thinking there is no TSA Pre in terminal B?

Sooo, is the line usually short enough so that TSA Pre is irrelevant time-wise, or should I check my bags in at B before walking to D to clear security there?

Also, does anyone know how long the walk is from Flagship to B5, roughly?

Any tips appreciated!
There's TSA Pre available at the south end of B (~B10 checkpoint)

D Flagship Lounge to B5 might be about a 9-15 minute walk depending on how fast you walk. I would NOT take the Skytrain from the middle of D to the south end of B.

Be warned, it's so far taken me 30 mins to get from C to D. So I'm abandoning it and running back to C.
Never use the Skytrain between C and (the northern half of) D. They're directly across from each other meaning you have to travel half the circumference of the airport if taking the train.

C2 to north end of D has a walkway. Easy walk.

In general, the usefulness of the Skytrain is dramatically overstated for people with normal mobility and a reasonable walking speed. I rarely use it.
