Ground Services ex-JFK
Greetings.
Traveling in F ex-JFK.
Knowing I can't use AA Flagship Check In (right?), can I expect any type of escort to the head of the security line?
Does CX use TSA Pre?
Lastly, is there an escort from Flagship First Dining to the gate? I ask this latter part, because I've seen CX staffers around the Flagship Lounge from time to time.
Thanks!

From my experience last month...
- AA check-in: not sure, I used Cathay's counters
- Escort through security: not happening
- TSA Pre: yes, according to this
- Escort from lounge to gate: no

Not that far of a walk anyway, FL is right after you exit security, just take the elevator up, FL !st class lounge is actually inside the Business Class lounge, in my experience, they agent checking you in at the lounge will walk you over and let you inside the First Class Dining area. At least they did for me and the wife when we flew CX !st out of JFK.

Depends what flight you are on... I've taken CX845 3 times the past 6 months, and there's absolutely no lines at all at that time of the evening... Also the dedicated pre-check line is NOT available at that time as well, but if you have pre-check, they will tell you to keep your shoes on...
The daytime flights you can use the dedicated pre-check lines

CX's gate wasn't particularly close to Flagship First Dining.
