Had a group of 15 people flying NY>BUD>NY. On the return whoever had a KTN number couldn't check in online and got SSSS

I flew FRA>NYC together with my brother who was under 18. He got TSA PRE without a KTN, and myself with KTN Got SSSS

What extra security does LY have ex-TLV for if you have a SSSS boarding pass?

I got that like two years ago. I don't recall anything out of the ordinary. Pretty sure they actually didn't know what it was. I'm pretty sure only the American airlines use it.

So interesting. Only has happened to me on American airlines. Got it on united in FRA too. Seems like I got the same massage you did.

In Europe they are required to do a special check for US bound flights, so the SSSS is taken care with a special check and not by the regular security.

I flew EK MXP-JFK in F, and there was a cornered off room in the lounge, and 20/30 minutes before boarding they announced all pax with SSSS to come there and got a swab test, I would say 25-45% of F/J pax had it

I had it on FRA a year ago, before entering the lounge someone checks the BP, and I was escorted back to security via a side door, where someone did swap test, but I didn't get any massage

Got it in TLV, was taken aside before security (not sure how they knew i had it), and waited 5-10 minutes for 'someone' to come, but he never showed up so they let me go.

Probably Gabriel Allon but I would imagine he was busy

I got it flying out of lhr on UA and the gate agent was so disinterested barely swabbed my bag and said good to go after 30 seconds.
