El Al TSA Precheck
« on: June 15, 2017, 10:11:49 AM »
Hi, Does El AL allow TSA precheck?  I have a motzei shabbas flight in August and I was wandering if TSA works with El Al.  Any advice would be great.

No. Its not a matter if they allow. They don't participate.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

So after you get the boarding pas, you need to wait on the line to go through the metal detector.  I thought they still ask you the 1000 questions before you get the boarding pass but you would be able to get pass the lines on the metal detector but I guess that is not so?

Honestly with ELAL I wouldn't be worried, they are not like other airlines that literally close the flight 15 minutes before the time

can't you typically just go over to the pre-check line (assuming there is one in the terminal) and show them your GE card even if not flying a participating airline? or is this a YMMV situation?

PREcheck is not an automatic benefit. The TSA has to approve you before every flight, so it must be displayed on the BP, the card itself is not enough.

Has anything changed in the past with El-Al? if one has TSA can it be attached to go through the first step of security? Or is there a separate line for el-aL?

It cannot be attached to a Elal ticket.

Why not?
Sometimes the very person who checks the ticket is scanning your ticket for check-in, and I use a random ticket which I'm not flying and now past security with some random ticket and I'm looking to fly to tlv.
    Since I'm not the one flying I can't take a chance but if I knew it was a guy at the gate directing people where to go I would do it.

Where have you experienced this?
Isn't security a separate system?

Yes but, I've been in LGA/JFK where they took your boarding pass and stamped it with expedited.
   But most times you go to a lady and show her your TSA, she allows you to go through the expedited line.
   Now let's go through with that, and I get to the guy who scans your Passport and boarding pass, if he should realize, then yes I can say oops wrong line.
     Now only thing needed is to find a flight which leaves from the same terminal and security check point.( I'm sure I can find it online or the airports website.)
   Yeh I think it's easier to just wait in the line.
   
  Would play around when I'm flying and not doing this for someone else.
 Just to much info to give over when it's not a concrete idea.
