    How long does it take to get from terminal 4 to terminal 7? (I'll be arriving from Dublin.) Thank you!

     

    You have two choices: either walk over to T5, go down to the underground tunnel and walk to T7 - or - 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. - three stops or about 7 mins.

     

    Doesn't the AirTrain go between terminals?

    I am flying from SLC on United Express and believe it will land in terminal 7?? I then need to connect on an Air New Zealand flight to Auckland, what terminal does Air New Zealand depart from, and approx how much time should I allow for this connection>

     

    1. United Express serves both T7 & T8 - look at your ticket - T7 has gates 70-77; T8 gates 80-88. 2. Air New Zealand flies out of T2. To get from T7 or T8 to T2, (which are on opposite sides of the parking garages), you need to 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. 3. Your next stops after T7 is T8, T1, T2 - three stops or 7 mins. You need to go through security check again at T2.

    We have a group of 16 and have 30mins to catch our connecting flight from Houston to Denver. I'm told we will be landing in Terminal B and will most likely depart from Terminal C or E. We only have backpacks....is this enough time?

     

    The above-ground TerminaLink train connects all terminals inside security. Also, there is a connector to Terminals E & D near Terminal B gates 84-88. Look at your ticket to see which gate you will depart from, i.e., E12, D3, etc. Your group needs to be organize, (let the flight attendant know that you need to catch your connecting flight shortly; put backpacks under your feet, so they are at ready when plane stops.. Rush!

    Hi, I am flying to Singapore from RDU via Continental Airways. I have only 40 min to change plane. Would that be sufficient? I am worried that I might miss my international flight. Thanks, TPL

     

    If you use Continental for both flights, there is no problem - you will then arrive & depart from EWR's Terminal C and simply walk over to your connecting gate. Terminal C has three gate areas: 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.

     

  • Arriving Gate A6D

    Can you please advise the best way to get from A6D to C19? Thank you

     

    To get from the A gates to the C gates use the below-ground Aero Train, taking only minutes - follow signs. C gates have gates C30-17, divided from remaining gates C14-1 by walkway.

     

    Thanks, I think it was the "D" at the end of A6 that was throwing me off - :)

     

  • Terminal 7 to Terminal 8

    I will be arriving at Terminal 7 via Cathay pacific, and connecting flight to rio de janeiro via American Airlines, how can i get to the terminal 8 ? Is that a walking distance ? Many Thanks!

     

    1. As an international arrival, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes). NOTE: Make sure Cathay transfer automatically your bags to the American Rio flight - not all airlines do, in which case you would need to take your bag to T8 and re-check it in there. 2. After customs clearance, etc., take the AirTrain to your connecting terminal- as it goes counter-clockwise, with the last terminal being T1, you may be better off to walk over to T8. (T8 has Concourse B with gates 1-16 and Concourse C with gates 31-47. Count on 30-45 mins. for customs procedure and another 25 minutes to your connecting gate.

     

    If you are just transiting through, your bags will be tagged and transferred all the way from your origin to your destination without you having to recheck them - especially when travelling within the same alliance like Cathay and American are. But it is always good idea to mention at your departure airport that you want to make sure they are tagged all the way through (you can do this even if you are on two separate tickets, but transitting immediately on connection flights).

    WE ARE ARRIVING FROM LAX ON UNITED AIRLINES 564 TO CHICAGO O'HARE AIRPORT (ORD) AND HAVE TO TRANSFER TO UNITED AIRLINES 6046 TO OTTAWA. WE HAVE 49 MINUETS. PLEASE GUIDE US. THANKS

     

    Terminal 1 is served by "all domestic flights and international departures of United". Therefore, you will not have to change terminals. Terminal 1 has Concourses B and C - look at your ticket to see which gate you arrive at & depart from (i.e., B10, C30, etc.) Also, on arrival look a the above-head screens for your connecting flight's gate & departure time and simply follow signs to your next gate.

     

  • Nuetral Meeting Place

    I'm flying in on an international flight and I'm meeting my mom who is elderly. I want to know your recommendation on a meeting place for us both. Her flight arrives about an hour before mine....

     

    1. Unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating airports, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags and go through customs clearance at Concourse E (functioning as international terminal until the opening of the new International Terminal this Spring). Allow for 30 minute for this procedure. From there I suggest you meet up with your mother, by taking the automated people mover (APM) train to either Concourses A, B, C or D where your mother is to arrive - meeting her there at the baggage claim area. (find out which gate she arrives at - i.e., Concourse A would have Gates A1-34 - or look at the overhead screen for her incoming flight and gate. You both would then have to take the train into the main terminal before exiting. You could also meet up in front of the Main Security Checkpoint or the Atrium of the Main Terminal. Oh, there is also a Concourse T attached to the main terminal.

    Hello, I would like to take a continental fight from BTV to BWI connecting in newark and the connection time on their site is 40 minutes? is this enough for me to make the connecting flight? thanks! this is in summer

     

    If you take Continental for both flights, you are arriving & departing from EWR's Terminal C. On arrival, look at the overhead screen and find your connecting flight & gate number (look at your ticket) - then proceed according to signs. You have enough time.

     

    Be careful. Some Continental affiliates are flying in/out of Terminal A (Commutair is one). Check your itinerary.

    We will be flying American Airlines into Boston Logan Airport and connecting with Cape Air. American has changed our flight times so that we will only have a little over an hour to get to Cape Air for our flight. Is this enough time?

     

    If you are an international arrival you would arrive in Terminal E (gates E1-8) and need to spend 30-45 mins going through passport control (unless you cleared US customs in Canada), pick up bags, and re-check them in again. 2. After completing international arrivals procedures, take either (a) the shuttle bus Routes 11 or 55 to your connecting terminal; or (b) walk: 1. to TA: TE's level 3 has bridge to TA, takes 5-7 mins; 2. to TB: proceed to TC, Level 2, then use walkway to TB, takes 7-10 mins. 3. to TC: stay left, follow signs; takes 2-5 mins. 3. If arriving on a domestic flight, you arrive at Terminal B and need to transfer to Terminal C (gates C11-20, C25-36, & C40-42.

    Hi, I'm flying from Auckland, NZ to Vancouver Canada via LAX Can my baggage be checked right through or do I have to take them out and get them checked in again. Which Terminal do I arrive and leave from? Thanks

     

    1. As an international arrival, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes). HOWEVER, do check with your airline (presuming it's Air New Zealand you would land at Terminal 2 - if departing by Air Canada, you would be in the same terminal and would just have to proceed to your next gate. It is essential that you contact your original airline to make sure they automatically transfer your bags to another terminal, if your departure is there - not all airlines do, in which case you would have to take your bags along and re-check them in in the terminal of your departure. To get to your connecting terminal keep in mind that TBIT (or TB) has a secure connection to both T3 & T4, while T5-T7 are connected by underground tunnel, with a walkway from T7 to T8. All other terminals are connected by by 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. Starting from TBIT, the next stops are at T4 through T8, it then goes on to the opposite side with T1, T2, T3 and back to TBIT. Count on 2.5 minutes for each stop.

     

  • transfer from Southwest to Alaskan

    We fly into Seattle on Southwest. need to go through baggage and transfer to Alaskan going to Canada. Is 1 hour 30 minutes maximum time on the grounwr399k enough time?

     

    You arrive with Southwest at Concourse B and need to go over to Alaska's Concourse C (gates C1-20)- just follow signs - all concourses are connected at post-security. Unless Southwest does not automatically transfer bags to Alaska flights - most airlines do, you need not pick up your bags at Seattle. You have plenty of time.

    flying in on us air and connection with an international flight on american. how far between terminals and time to be allowed and can I make a 2 hour 45 minute connection safely?

     

    You arrive at T7 and depart from T8. Your option is to take the Airtrain, running on average every 8 mins between the terminals, or exit the terminal and go to the adjacent Terminal 8, where you will need to go through security again. You have plenty of time to eat or shop before your departure. Look at your ticket to see which gate you depart from - reserve 45 minutes for transfer time and use the rest of the time for eating, shopping or relaxing.
