Question about SEA Security line.
Hi, wondering if anyone can help me with this-
I'm flying out of SEA/TAC in a few hours on Alaska and want to know if there's a way to get priority access at security. I'm AA Exp and have my card, can I use that with an Alaska boarding pass to get through faster? (my time's going to be tight today). Thanks in advance for any advice!

There's a private security guard who watches over who enters the elite line. Just show your AA EXP card, keep your BP in your pocket until you get to the podium, and you should be fine.
If the private security guard hassles you, just tell her/him that the ticket counter said you can do it.

Depends which security line - the premium line at the center checkpoint is reserved for Continental Elites only - after a squabble with Alaska over the previous line setup, CO leased the space for its own Elites and will exclude any non-CO Elite at that checkpoint.
Make sure you go to the far-right checkpoint (which is where most AS flights leave from anyway).
