  • Between terminals?
    Mar 10, 2012
    2
    I will be arriving via a United flight from Indianapolis in terminal A and will be departing in terminal C to PWM.. I have only 45 minutes in between flights. Will that be enough time? Do I have to go thru security again?

     

    The Airtrain station is located close to gateway A2 and will take you to Terminal C's upper level, center, at post-security. Terminal C gates: has gate area C1 arranged in a Y-shape with gates C70-75, C80-88 & C90-99 on each side; gate area C2 has gates C101A-115A-B (15 gates); gate area C3 has gates C12-130. You have enough time and need not go through security again.

     

    Strangely enough, when I called the information line for Newark Airport, the woman I talked to said I would have to go thru security again. Wow.

    I'm flying in on united and flying out on united. With a hour and 10 minute layover. Will I have enough time to get my baggage and catch my other flight?

     

    1. United uses Terminal C with gates C14-24 east, and C29-45 west. 2. Make sure at your original departure Airport that your baggage tags include all three airport codes. 3. If you are a domestic arrival at IAH, just walk over to your connecting gate. 4. If you are an international arrival, you will be processed at Terminal E's International Arrivals section - which can be also accessed from Terminal C. You would have to go through customs, take escalator down to baggage claim level 1, then go through Exit Control & enter to the right the baggage recheck area, then go straight out to the International Arrivals lobby and take the escalator down to the train taking you to Terminal C. Even then you will have enough time.

     

  • 3 to 5 with dog

    I'm arriving with a dog terminal 3 at 2:15, departing terminal 5 at 9:50, how do I get from 3 to 5 with an animal? And is it enough time to pick him up, get there and have him checked in? And if I can manage all that and there is enough time will I be able to take him outside terminal 5 for a bit, I heard there is a designated pet area

     

    O'Hare Airport site has no mentioning of 'dogs or animals'. However, volunteer ambassadors are at hand in all terminals to assist travelers. I would also try the Travelers Aid at O'Hare, located in Terminal 2 across from the Children's Museum and provides information, directions, and special assistance and is open Mo-Fri 8:30am-9pm; Sat/Sun 10a.m.-9pm. Information booths are also available at various locations. Also find "Traveling with Pets" at www.ifly.com/ord - under "Traveler Tips" (right top); click on "Airport & Flying Resources" (see bottom). To reach them by phone or for more information, please call 773-894-2427 Or visit the Travelers Aid website.

     

  • transfer from united to qatar airlines

    I have 2hrs and40min to pick up luggage at United baggage and go to and check into Qatar airlines..is this possible???

     

    1. If you are an international arrival, you will arrive at Terminal E, where you will enter the International Arrivals area, accessible from both TE & TC; go through customs, take escalator down to baggage claim on level 1, go through Exit Control, enter to the right baggage recheck area, go straight out to International Arrivals Lobby & take the tunnel to Terminal D. 2. If you are a domestic arrival at IAH, you arrive at Terminal C - take the above-ground TerminaLink train to Terminal D. Either way you have plenty of time!

    visit www.ifly.com/iah and click on "Terminal Map"; under the map you have all the information needed. Look at your ticket too see which terminal/ gates you arrive at / depart from. On arrival from San Diego scan the overhead screens for your departure flight and gate.

     

  • United connecting flights to Canada

    I am connecting from Salt Lake City through Houston on my way home to Toronto. Both flights are United. I just realized that my connection is only 30 mins. I believe that I don't have to go through customs until I arrive in Canada. Is this true, or will I have to clear customs in Houston?

     

    1. You arrive and depart from Terminal C which is divided into east gates C14-24 & west gates C29-45. I presume that since your departure & arrival at IAH was only scheduled with 30 mins in between, that you are being processed at Pierson Airport, which has US customs clearance.

     

  • Cape Air to Southwest

    I am flying in Cape Air and out Southwest, is 40 min enough time? I cant get a straight answer, some say D and E are connected, others say it is not.

     

    Terminals 1 & 2 are separate, exception: their Concourses. While Terminal 1 houses Concourse D (Cape Air) and Terminal 2 Concourse E (Southwest), all Concourses in both terminals are interconnected; Follow signs to Concourse E, which has gates E60-85. 40 mins is enough time.

    which terminal do virgin atlantic flights from london arrive at and where can i pick up poassenger?

     

    1. Virgin Atlantic arrives at T5 (your party needs to spend another 35-45 mins going through international arrival clearance). 2. You have the option of either using the cell phone lot or the hourly parking facility: (a) The free Cell Phone Lot is located at Economy Parking Lot F. (Exit I-190 at North Mannheim Road and follow the signs to Economy Parking F/Cell Phone Lot). Stay with your car until your party has arrived, collected luggage and calls you to be picked up at the curb. (b) Lot D is right across from the International Terminal 5. 3. Tune in to 1630 AM within 2.5 miles of O'Hare for current space availability, fees and more. e Level 1; Hourly parking is also available at Outside Lots B and C in front of the Garage. Lot B is for Terminal 1, Lot C for Terminal 3.

    Excellent selection of desserts and coffee, coupled with some of Atlanta's most sensual desserts make a stop here a welcome respite for the weary traveler. Huge book selection adds that Parisian flair...great place to while away time between flights

    All around a good place to grab a beer and enjoy some good company. A bit on the pricey side but not for an airport restaurant.

    I have tickets from MSP to Brazil on United Air with a connection at ORD that has a connection time of 42 minutes. Will I have enough time to make the transfer? I would hate to miss the flight. Also, will United transfer the luggage or will I have to re-check it in? Thank you for sharing!

    1. You need to contact United Express to find out whether they transfer your bags at ORD to our TAM flight (not all airlines do, in which case you would have to re-check in your bags. You arrive at ORD at Terminal 2; however, there is no TAM listing at the Airline ORD site (a very poor site). Your ticket should indicate which terminal TAM is departing from. Also the overhead screens at your arrival at ORD will show your connecting flight to Sao Paulo's Guarulhos Airport GRU. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the ORD airport layout and connections by visiting www.ifly.com/ord and clicking on "Terminal Map" - under the map is a detailed description of each terminal, their concourses & gates, and how to get around.

     

  • Transfer to Continental from United

    are they in the samre terminal and distance between

     

    Continental & United use the Midfield concourses with A , C & D gates - look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive/depart from. While the underground Aerotrain runs its loop to the center of the midfield concourses and takes minutes, you can use it only for gates A1-32, B35-79 & C1-30. D gates are served by a shuttle.

    I have my daughter flying into IAH from Chicago on Continental and transferring to fly to Costa Rico (SJO), also on Continental. How would she get from when she arrive to the area that the SJO flight would leave from?

     

    1. Continental uses domestic terminals A, B, C and international Terminal C. She needs to look at her ticket to see which gate she arrives at / departs from (i.e., C14, E12 = Terminal C or E, & gate number. The above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security. She can also walk from Terminal C to Terminal E.
