SFO TSA Precheck
Hello FTers,
I'll be flying SFO-MUC in LH business class. I have Global Entry. Does LH participate in TSA Precheck at SFO? Also, at what time does the LH counter open to issue BP for the 8:55p departure flight?
Thank you!

For some weird reason I wasn't able to get BP issued at T-24 but now at T-5 I have a BP with TSA PRE check stamp issued through the mobile app.

Pre-check at Newark EWR Terminal B (B3 gates)
Clearing security at EWR's Terminal B for an LH/SK/OS flight has in the past been reliably unpleasant, whether you are using Fast Track or not, but the TSA's website now indicates that there now is an afternoon Pre-check lane at the B3 gates (as well as at the B1 gates). Does anyone have first-hand experience with Pre-check at Terminal B? Is it a proper lane, or is it some form of Pre-lite (regular line + laminated orange card that lets you keep your shoes on)?

Thanks. I was aware of this option, but with luggage to check, I was hoping to avoid the trek back and forth to Terminal C. Interestingly, both UA's map of EWR and the TSA website now indicate a Pre checkpoint at Terminal B, something that was not there a month or two back, so I'm curious to know whether it is indeed true Pre.

Pyrric experience @ BOS
Got TSA PRE on my BP. However, was told that Terminal E doesn't start PRE until 17:30, which is when LH flights depart. Got to keep my shoes on and went through regular metal detector not nude-o-scope, but had to remove baggie and electronics.

I just checked in for our flight AUS to FRA for tomorrow. When it got to the page to enter passport info, there was a spot on the same page to enter KTN info.
