  • enough time to switch flights?
    Apr 3, 2012
    4
    I arrive at O'Hare 5:20p (Skywest Airlines dba United Express) and my flight out is 6:00p (United Airlines) - should all be contained within T2, correct? Is 40 minutes cutting it too close? I didn't think so if it's the same terminal, but it does make one nervous...

     

    I'm going from Indianapolis to O'Hare at 5:29 pm on May 2 (United). I then have to go to Frankfurt (United) at 6:26 pm with a layover of 57 mins. Is this enough time to board? Thanks. I'm NERVOUS.

     

    yeah, you're screwed

     

    Thanks... I guess? Sounds like more of a wise*** reply than a useful one...

     

    You arrive at/depart from Terminal 1, which has Concourses B with gates B1-22 & C with gates C1-32. When you arrive at O'Hare look at the overhead screen to find your connecting flight and head toward this gate.

    My daughter is flying into Las Vegas on Southwest Airlines and then boarding onto West Jet. Is there a simple way to tell her how to get to West Jet after she has arrived from SouthwestAirlines?

     

    1. WestJet is in Concourse B, Southwest is in Concourse C. 2. Las Vegas McCarran Airport has two passenger terminals - T1 & T2, across from each other, which are connected by an uncovered sidewalk and by a free shuttle bus, which stops at T1, outside of doors 12-14 and at T2 at center media. All gates at T1 are accessible by the Esplanade. T1 has A-D gates, the C gates of which are accessible by C-Gate Tram. The D Gate Tram leads to the separate gate building and connect to satellite concourses C & D.

     

  • Southwest terminal to AirNewzealand

    We will be arriving from Phx at LAX at 4:00pm We need to get to AirNewzealand for a 9:45pm departure. What's the best way to do this?

     

    You arrive at LAX at Terminal 1 and depart from Terminal 2. You can either walk to the adjacent terminal or take the bus. Either way you will have to exit T1 and go through security check at T2. I recommend that you open www.ifly.com/lax and click on 'Terminal Map' - below the map you find more information about each terminal. As you have plenty of time in between flights, you may want to take the bus to Bradley International Terminal, which has the most selection on food & shops.

    If travelling from LAX to Chicago and from Chicago to Quebec, Canada, do we need to pass Canadian customs and immigration in Chicago? And also if we go from terminal 1 to 2, will we need to go through security again? thank you

     

    this is for OHare

     

    Only international arrivals need to go through customs clearance (unless they are pre-cleared by participating airports). There is a connecting tunnel between Terminals 1 & 2, but you need to go through security again.

    Arriving on Southwest from SFO to LAX and need to get to Air Tahiti-What is the best route? ANy lounges I can buy my way into, while I wait for my PPT flight? Thank you

     

    You arrive in LAX at Terminal 1 and need to get to the Bradley Terminal (TB or TBIT). 2. Exit T1 and take 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. 3. As to lounges: Tom Bradley - Elevators take you to: VIP Lounges South (4th floor Sky Team, 5th Floor Star Alliance), and to VIP Lounge North (4th floor L.A. Internat'l Lounge, 5th floor 'Oneworld' Alliance. An escalator from the center will take you to the Food Court, Upper Level, which includes the reLAX Lounge. My suggestion: When you enter TBIT, go to the information counter to find out which lounge you can access.

     

    Incredibly kind of you to take the time to help me. Thank you

    I am arriving at terminal C with my next flight departing terminal b; layover is 35 minutes. Is this enough time?

     

    After arriving at IAH in Terminal C, take the above-ground TerminaLink train connecting to Terminal B - follow signs and hurry.

    We will arrive from Canada on KLM and transfer to a KLM flight to Turkey. we have only carry on baggage. Do we have to go through immigration or customs between flights, we have only 1 hour. Thank you

     

    You only need to go through passport check. Note: You will depart at either Departures 2 or 3 (check screens for your flight): Departures 2 uses the E gates; Departure 3 uses F, G, H & M gates. At transfer kiosks you can check connecting flight information or book a new fight. Transfer desks T4 & T5 are at D gate area; transfer desk T6 at E gate area & desk T9 at G gate area.

    How long does it take to get from Delta connection terminal 5 to American Airlines connection terminal 4

     

    While Terminals 5 & 4 of LAX are not connected, they are close together. Exit T5 and walk over to T4, then go through security check at T4 and up to your connecting gate. Gate to gate: 15-20 mins.

     

  • What is quick way from gate D7 to A4C?
    Mar 31, 2012

    I have 50 minutes to go from D7 to A4C. What is quickest method?

     

    At IAD Concourse D (gates D1-29)is presently not being served by the Aerotrain, but by a shuttle which leaves between gates D15-21 and D9-11 for the A gates (arriving near gate A6).

    I arrive terminal 1 LAX (international)at 10.30am departing 12.00(noon) terminal 5 do i have enough time and how do i do it

     

    1. As an international arrival at LAX, and unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating airports, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and then re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes)- make sure your airline transfers your bags to your connecting flight - not all do. That should take you 35-45 mins. Thereafter, exit Terminal 1 and take the bus to Terminal 5: Board the blue-marked LAX bus route A on lower arrivals level island in front of the terminals under sign "LAX Shuttle Airline Connection", which runs every 12-15 mins. Your next stops after T1 are T2, T3, TBIT, T4 & T5 - five stops or 12 mins.

     

  • How Far from Tom Bradley - terminal 1
    Mar 31, 2012

    please tell me how far and how from Tom Bradley Ineternational terminal to Terminal 1 (southwest terminal).

     

    Arriving at TBIT (Bradley Terminal)of LAX you have only two choices: Either way you need to exit TBIT: (a) walk left towards T3, pass T2 on to T1 - estimated time 15-20 mins. (b) Board the blue-marked LAX bus route A on lower arrivals level island in front of TBIT, under sign "LAX Shuttle Airline Connection", which runs every 12-15 mins, and makes the following stops thereafter: T4, T5, T6, T7, T8 and over to T1 - six stops or 15 mins.

     

  • Time for switching flights?

    My daughter is traveling from MSP to Chicago on Sunday and has just under a 2 hour layover there before flying out to Amsterdam. Sufficient time? Is it correct that all international flights go out of T5?

     

    1. Chicago O'Hare Airport has 4 passenger terminals - T1, T2, T3 & T5, arranged in a semi-circle (T1, T2 & T3 are domestic terminals connected to each other at their gate areas). T5 with Concourse M is the International Terminal; all international arrivals, with the exception of flights from airports with border pre-clearance, are handled at Terminal 5. Departures and arrivals at ORD depend on airlines taken. 2. The ATS shuttle train runs every few mins between the terminal - a full loop takes about 30 mins. 2 hours is plenty of time for transfer. On arrival, she needs to look at the overhead screens to find her airline, flight number & departure gate; then follow signs.

    united flight 3919 arrive at 7:22am. 39 min layover for fllight 5735 at 8:01am. How do we make our connection to the gate???

     

    AT IAD, United uses Midfield Concourses and their gates A, B, C & D - While A, B & C are served by the underground Aerotrain making a continuous loop and taking minutes, Midfield Concourse D is served by a shuttle between A gate A6 and D gates D15-21 & D9-11. C gates C1-30 & D gates D1-32 are connected by a walkway. Look at your ticket (and at arrival at overhead screens) to find your arrival & departure gates. No time to waste!

    I will be flying in from Nice on an Air France flight while the other party will be flying in direct from the US on a US Air flight 3 hours before us. Which terminals will we arrive at and where should we meet?

     

    Open http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-fco-fiumicino & click on "Flights" - a good plane to meet up would be at Arrivals, in front of the Information Counter.
