Why No Mobile BPs or TSA pre-check when Multi-Segment Trip to US Begins in Caribbean
I checked in online before leaving the Dominican Republic for my AA flight from STI-MIA. But the AA App didn't display mobile board passes for any of my 3 segments that day. The app instructed me to get boarding passes at the airport.
In the past I have always received mobile boarding passes for the 2nd and 3rd domestic legs, but sometimes the STI-MIA flight boarding pass doesn't show up, so no surprise on that one.
When I checked in at the STI airport I didn't have TSA precheck printed on my domestic leg boarding passes so when I arrived in Miami I had to go through the normal security line.
Does anyone know why I wouldn't receive my domestic segment mobile BPs when flying in from the Dominican Republic?
And why did I not get TSA pre-check on my BPs when I have every other time (I'm global entry)?

As to mobile boarding passes, not all airports support them. STI doesn't.

I always ask an agent at the Caribbean airport to reprint my onward BPs. They print with Pre-Check just as if I'd asked for them after getting to the U.S.
