Lufthansa SFO TSA Global Entry/Precheck
I booked my Lufthansa flight from SFO to Frankfurt through United Airlines. I have Global Entry/TSA Precheck. Does Lufthansa have access to my Global Entry/Precheck status, and will they print it on my boarding passes? The last time I flew United out of SFO they didn't print it on my boarding passes, and I didn't notice it until I tried to enter the TSA Precheck line and was sent to the non-Precheck lines.

Thanks.

This is the list of participating airlines in PreCheck - https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/participating-airlines - you need to add your number to your UA/LH booking. LH is on the list.
Global Entry is linked to your passport and irrespective of airline flown. Just go to the machine at immigration on your return.

Yes, Lufthansa is participating in Pre Check and if you add your KTN it will be printed on your boarding pass.
Lufthansa has nothing to do with Global Entry. If you have it you just use it.

I suspect that you didn't add your Global Entry membership # to your booking when you flew with United. If it is not attached, it will not be shown on your boarding pass and the airline will not automatically pull it from the CBP/TSA database for you. For your upcoming flight on Lufthansa you booked through United, get the Lufthansa booking reference from United (it's shown towards the top if you look up the booking on United.com) and then go to lufthansa.com and add your Global Entry membership # by using the "Manage my booking" function.
