That's correct. Only one segment with TSA-PRE. Last occurrence in DL was in July 2015 though, so this might have changed. This is more typical with AA: TSA-PRE for CDG-MIA but no PRE for MIA-SDQ.

I am curious where the pre-check line is at T1. My last time through I did not have pre (as I had to get a separate BP printed from MU) but I did look around and did not see it.

Im the OP
Let me reframe my question. Is there a special line for J & F classes at T1? Wasn't so much concerned about taking off shoes and removing laptop as about how long it would likely take to get through security.
Thanks

Yup. Per a DL BP a year ago I had pre-check at HND but could not find the line. Hell, could not even find TSA for some strange reason.

This past December I flew MCO-EWR-ADD all on a UA ticket. MCO-EWR was on UA and EWR-ADD on ET. UA issued all BPs and only MCO-EWR had Precheck. So the process seems a little inconsistent across airlines.

Yes, it is located right in the middle of the TSA entrance. JFK-ICN flights depart at non-peak times, so you should be fine. The line gets crowded between 5 and 10 PM as most European carriers have departures during that timeframe.

Also BA flies LCY/JFK. Only thing I think could top that would be ORY/LCY to LGA. I can imagine they could sell those flights out quick and for a pretty penny.

Yes, they started last fall, the flight initially had the old Business Class seats (which I chose over the new ones just to arrive to Orly and get home quicker), now they have upgraded to the new seats (new smaller business cabin, 28J seats).
A seat is located right next to the window, you can find it in almost every single row
I think I was a customer

We flew DCA-JFK-CDG-BUD in December, 2016, flying DL on the first segment and AF on the last two. We transited JFK in the 2 pm hour, leaving T2 airside and walking over to T1. There were TSA Pre-Check signs up, but there was no TSA Pre-Check in operation, and the TSA agents were rude to us when we asked about it.
There is a security entrance for business class and Sky Priority, but nude-o-scopes were in operation for all. Maybe things have changed in three months. It took us about 35 minutes to clear security from the minute we entered the line.
I don't know why Delta, which has promised "seamless" Skyteam travel in the past, does not provide JFK Jitney service to T1 airside from its other terminals.

The left side of the checkpoint. It was added because LH, which operates out of T1, does support Pre-√.
Not IME. The "business and first" line (also used by SkyPriority) IME moves at the same slow rate as the regular lines, and I never clear in less than 15 (and usually closer to 30) minutes. It's especially bad when people show up for the A380 flights.
