LH Now TSA PREcheck Eligible
Sorry if this is a repeat, didn't see a thread.
Anyway, surprised to see TSA PRE on my LH BP IAD-FRA this evening:
Turns out it's brand new today. Only works at counter or terminal machine, not on emailed or home-printed BPs: https://www.tsa.gov/news/releases/2016/08/31/tsa-partners-lufthansa-offer-tsa-precheck-0

Presumably eventually online and emailed BPs will get the designation too...?

It should be on the personal profile section in your M&M account (based on my experiences with other airlines). I was on LH F MUC-SFO (on an AC ticket) and when I did my OLCI, it appeared, likely because my GE info is stored in my profile and such. Or, I may have entered it at OLCI. But it was great even if ex-MUC had no TSA Pre line or screening at the time.
Also, check LH's API page "Visa and immigration data" and see if there is the option there.
