    I have a connecting flight at ord terminal 3 same airline same terminal . Is 35 min enough time to get to my gate

     

    At ORD, Terminal 3 has Concourses G, H, K & L with corresponding gates (i.e., G13). Look at your ticket and on arrival at ORD at overhead screen to find your gate number and departure time. Then follow signs to your gate. You have enough time.

    How long does it take to get from concourse/gate c19 to concourse/gate B10?

     

    Both gates are in Terminal 1: Concourse B at its center connects to Concourse C - you have a short walk.

    Hello. I reach Wasington Dulles Airport at 1500hrs and have a connection to Las Vegas on United at 2030hrs. Will I have enough time to take a taxi to downtown for an hour and come back again in time for the United flight, considering my bags would be through checked in from my International departure airport?

     

    1. IAD is 26 miles from Washington center. Arriving domestic flights and flights from airports with U.S. border preclearance are serviced directly at the concourses, while flights arriving from any other airport are processed through the International Arrivals Building (IAB). (If you are an international arrival, that process would take you 35-50 mins. 2. During the busiest airport hours of 5:30am - 8am, 11am - 1pm, and 3:30pm - 5:30pm, it is advisable to arrive at the Main Terminal no later than two hours prior to scheduled domestic flights and three hours for international flights. 3. United serves Concourses A through D with corresponding gates (i.e., B35). I would not advise you to leave the Airport. To familiarize yourself with layout and transfer options, open www.ifly.com/iad and click on "Quick Links" - "Terminal Map"; under the map are details and how to get around.

  • Any PRE SECURITY eating places??

    Are there any PRE SECURITY restaurants to meet travelers other than fast food places?

     

    At MSP, between Concourses F & G is the Itasca Grille.

     

    You have to go thru security to get anywhere in the concourse areas.

     

  • Buying wine by the bottle

    We will have a layover in Seattle before going on to Fairbanks Alaska. Is there a store to buy wine by the bottle while in the airport?

     

    Try the duty-free stores at either Satellite North, Gate N9 or Satellite South, near the escalator.

    I will have 34 minutes assuming my flight arrives at DTW on time to get from Delta terminal EM to Delta terminal 3 is it possible I will make it I walk with a cane.

     

    DTW does not have a Terminal EM or Terminal 3. Delta is in the McNamara Terminal of Detroit Metro Airport DTW. This terminal has three concourses A, B & C: Concourse A has to the left gates A1-38; to the right gates A40-75, and at its center the tunnel connecting to Concourses B & C. Concourse B (American Eagle) has gates B1-21. Concourse C (American), has gates C8-43, arranged in five clusters, four of which have three gates on each side, the last cluster has gates C32-43. An elevator between Concourses B & C leads to the Lower Level gates C1 to C7. Alert your flight attendant early that you will need assistance to get to your connecting gate. NOTE: Concourse A of McNamara has 1.5 miles of moving walkways, but also uses the Express Tram serving the South station near gate A11, the Terminal station in the center near the water feature, and the North station near gate A67.

  • Connecting flight from AA to Eva Airline

    Hello!! I will be arriving in LAX terminal 4 and have to get on to Eva Airways terminal B.... Could you tell me the easiest way for me to get to Eva and how far is it from Terminal 4 to Terminal B b/c I only have less than an hour to get to my connecting flight.

     

    While you have 2 choices to get from LAX's Terminals 4 to 8, you need to exit T4 in either case: (a) walking: Walk to T5 to the right, take escalator down to the tunnel connecting T5, 6 & 7; exit T7 and use walkway to T8. (b) Shuttle: Take the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island (in front of each terminal), under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. - 4 stops taking 10 mins. (At T8 you need to go through security check before proceeding to your gate.

    please help my husband has a breathing machine should we bring it on carry on or should we pack it checked bags

     

    Put it either in your carry-on or (if it doesn't fit) in an open bag and alert the attendant at the security checkpoint that you will bring the device onboard.

    Will the airport allow me to go thru security to meet my son at the gate when he arrives? He is 13 and I am hesitant to let him try to find his way thru the airport at both Dallas and Atlanta.

     

    I understand that your son departs DFW and arrives at ATL airports - both of which are large and I suggest that your son opens both sites to familiarize himself with the layout of the passenger terminals: he should open www.ifly.com/atl or ifly.com/dfw, and click on "Terminal Map" Found at the upper left side under "Quick Links". Arrival/Departure from Terminals, Concourses and gates are mainly determined by which airline he uses. His ticket will show the gate number. Also, the ifly site will show under the Quick Links "Flights & Airlines and their location. You are not allowed beyond the security checkpoint. Depending on the Airline, he will arrive either at the North or South terminal, or at Concourses T, A through E. Concourses A-E are connected in the center by the APM train. Concourse T can be reached by foot. You can meet him in the Atrium, in front of the Main Security checkpoint.

    I arrive at Terminal 6 and my next flight ( national flight ) is from terminal 8., 1 hour later. My airline does not transfer my bags. Is it possible? How must I do it precisely if I want to do it as quick as possible? Thanks

     

    Yes unfortunately airlines not belonging to the same alliance, or without co-agreement with the other airline can refuse baggage transfer. It is always a good idea to either consult the airlines' website prior to making reservations or find out at the check-in counter whether your airline transfers. After arrival at LAX in Terminal 6 and claiming your bags, you need to take either: (a) the tunnel to T7, exit T7 and take the walkway to T8 - or (b) exit T6 and catch the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island (in front of each terminal), under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. and takes about 5 mins. With more than one bag, you need to opt for (a) - using either a baggage trolley or a skycap.

    Hi there. I am arriving on a United Airlines flight from Boston arriving at 16h04 and have to connect to a SAA flight departing at 17h40.Is this enough time?

     

    While United uses at IAD Midfield Concourses A, B, C & D (look at your ticked for your gate number - i.e., A32) while South African Airways uses Concourse B. While you can walk between Concourses A & B, you need to take the AeroTrain to C gates. D gates are only served by shuttle (mainly used for arrivals). As arriving passenger, follow signs "to Baggage claim / Ground Transportation" - then domestic arrivals at A, B or C gates should follow AeroTrain sign. You have enough time.
