Can my companion use 1st class line if I do pre-check line?
Flying out tomorrow. My wife USUALLY gets pre-check along with me on her boarding pass, but did not this time. I am PLAT and entitled to use 1st class line at security. But, I'm PLAT, so traveling in coach of course (had my 1 yearly upgrade back in Nov).
Due to the pain of dealing with my liquids and shoes, I'd like to go thru pre-check with the carryon and send her thru 1st class line. Her boarding pass says 'Priority' on it while mine says 'Priority / Platinum'. Will she be allowed to use the 1st class non-precheck line alone, or do I need to be with her (and break out the ziploc bags)?
Want to get this sorted today rather than 5:00 am tomorrow at Sky Harbor.

If her boarding pass says priority, she can use that lane for security. The priority lane thru TSA is also used for airline elites and not just first class. Since you're both on the same reservation (I'm assuming), your status carried over to her, as well.
