Actually not too sure about the check in as have not done it for a long time. Certainly Star Status members get priority check in and boarding. Let me ask tomorrow if I remember and then let you know. I have been a G member with them for a very long time so always get the priority check in and boarding even when I fly Premium or EC when they do not have PE on their flights. know that they board last. I have seen at some airports they let PE passengers go to Priority counter if they are not serving customers. I hope that I can remember to check this tomorrow.
