Again, it's not just in practice.

What you said above, as to whether someone who is not flying UA can use the UA Premier line, was: "Technically, no". Can you explain where the rule is that says that?

OP is a UA Silver. UA Silvers get to use the UA Silver line. So far as I know, there is no rule that says they need to be flying UA -- or flying at all (assuming they have a gate pass).



*G would get you priority security on ANA, which may or may not be something that ANA has contracted for at ORD.

What if I was flying WN? Can I use priority security because it says *G even though I am flying WN and have no status with them?

They aren't contracted for it at ORD. That's why I was asking about United's line. *G wouldn't help me in this case. You also missed the next part of my post where United explicitly says it is only for their flights and Copa. I'll quote it again.

This is right on the premier access page:
"We continually strive to make your travels more convenient when flying on United, Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia."

So technically I can't use it, but it isn't a hard rule as people have described.

Yes.

You said that this is technically not possible. Can you point to the technical rule that says it isn't?

I have an acquaintance who waves a four-year-old "Premier Associate" card and always gets the elite security line no matter who he's flying.
