You're confusing "Premier Access" lanes/checkpoints w/ "priority access". There's some overlap, but "this list of Premier Access security lines" is NOT a list of airports with United "Premier Access" security checkpoints.


"Premier Access" is specific to United - that's what they call their dedicated priority access lanes for UA customer only, and usually only at United hubs. The list you showed are airports with priority lanes of various types. Just because an airport shows up on the list you showed, by no means does everyone with United Premier Access have access to a priority lane there. For example - Las Vegas. There is absolutely NO "Premier Access" lane for United customers there, but there is a "First Class" priority lane for all passengers. United passengers w/ "Premier Access" who are not in First don't get to use it. At some airports, there's "gold lanes" or such that do accommodate various airline status programs. London is such an airport - a United 1K in economy would be able to use the Gold lane there, but it is NOT labeled a "Premier Access" lane, and it is NOT exclusive to United or *A.

Honolulu has no First Class or Premier Access lines. I guess inclusion on the list is based on the availability of a PreCheck line (which really isn't an airline-enabled "priority line").
