Cathay Pacific now participates in US TSA Pre✓ 1 Nov
TSA Pre✓® expands to include 5 additional domestic and international airlines
Expedited screening now available through 42 air carriers
WASHINGTON — The Transportation Security Administration today announced the expansion of its TSA Pre✓® expedited screening program to five additional domestic and international carriers. Now in operation, the five new partnering airlines are All Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Contour Aviation, Finnair and Korean Air. Today’s announcement brings the number of airlines participating in TSA Pre✓® to 42 domestic and international carriers.
TSA Pre✓® is an expedited screening program that enables low-risk travelers to enjoy a smart and efficient screening experience at 200 U.S. airports. For TSA Pre✓® travelers, there is no need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets.
TSA Pre✓® is available when departing from a U.S. airport to a foreign country, and for domestic, connecting flights after returning to the U.S. Travelers who are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents of the U.S. can apply for TSA Pre✓® for a cost of $85 for five years, or $17 per year through the TSA Pre✓® application program. Once approved, travelers will receive a “Known Traveler Number” and will have the opportunity to utilize TSA Pre✓® lanes at select security checkpoints when traveling on any of the 42 participating airlines.
Other passengers who are eligible for TSA Pre✓® include: U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Trusted Traveler programs, Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI. TSA Pre✓® is also available for U.S. Armed Forces service members, including those serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, Reserves and National Guard. To find the program that best suits your travel needs, use the Department of Homeland Security trusted traveler comparison tool.
As always, TSA continues to incorporate unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.

But it doesn't look like website has been updated to accept KTN during booking or manage booking.
Please report back if KTN is captured during online and/or counter check-in if you have an ex-US flight coming up.
As a point of reference, when Air Canada joined, you had to check-in at airport to obtain PreCheck as they didn't roll out changes to the website upon PreCheck participation.

No TSA Pre at TBIT
You can go through the TSA lines at T4 and take the Airside Connector walkway to TBIT.
EDIT to Add: Hmmm, now that the number of international airlines with TSA Pre has increased, I wonder if it is worth it for LAX TBIT to set up a TSA lane.

ORD doesn't have it too. But maybe we can get Pre Check lite?
I'm tempted to fly from JFK just for this, especially when I am more flexible. It may also suggest room for further cooperation for ex-JFK pax to use AA F check in?
