Noticed this on Continental’s website. I’m not sure how long this has been on their site, but I assume not long and not everyone has seen this.
Continental is in the process of gathering a listing of One Pass Members who already have “Trusted Traveler” Status and who would be interested in participating in the TSA’s expedited security screening program that is currently being rolled out in limited scope in airports across the country. As far I as know, no Star Alliance member is currently piloting this program with the TSA.
I have included a link below that allows you to enroll for the waitlist. Continental indicates that they will begin contacting selected members with further information for participating in the program. It looks like a Trusted Traveler Program PASS ID number is not mandatory to sign up for the list. However, if you have Global Entry, you already have this number. You can find it on line, or on your Global Entry Card.

Lufthansa’s Miles & More website will be undergoing a major upgrade of its systems at the end of January 2012. As a result, access to your Miles & More will be affected and certain services and functionality will not be available during this transition.
Lufthansa expects the overhaul to take a few days once it starts at the end of January. My advice is to be proactive. If you have plans to book or change existing bookings through your Miles & More account online, it may behoove you to do it sooner than later in January and not be caught off guard when they take their systems offline.
The last time that the site went under a substantial upgrade was back in the 90’s, so it’s time to refresh the site and take advantage of new technologies that are available.
Lufthansa has created a webpage dedictated to this transition which you can find HERE.
