TSA pre at Mia...
For the following readers...
The ba check in agent just sent me to checkpoint 4 for security with a fast track stamp on my BP even tho I asked her if there was TSA pre.. There is not. Its an incredibly slow checkpoint with one officer doing normal and FastTrack together.
Asked around and walked 5min to checkpoint 2. That's the only TSApre.. Extremely quick. Anytime again.

Checkpoint 4 is located 2min to the left...
Checkpoint 2 is located 2min to the right.
Once thru you have to probably walk 5min to the flagship lounge from 2 instead of 2min from 4.
But nothing compared to the ease of TSA pre.
By the way the nice couple I met on the flight was sent to the admirals club instead of the flagship lounge by the check in lady. Disappointing.
Those little things that leave a bad impression on the customer..

Yeah it was pretty chaotic last time I was there - not only the lack of TSA Pre but one of the security checkpoints was closed so very long waits. Only just managed to have a little chill in the Flagship lounge which is very nice but definitely would have liked more time in there! Despite complete lack of anything there I'd def fly from FLL next time in the area was able to just roll into the airport an hour before my domestic flight and still be at the gate way too early. Though I realise I was lucky to have an early morning flight and that there weren't 3,000 cruise passengers leaving the same time as me!

A bit of further research indicates that admission for BA First passengers to Flagship Dining may be a fairly recent change. Sam Chui wrote about it in this article (https://samchui.com/2019/01/26/revie.../#.XNOFkxbTWEc)
