    What terminal is security for Delta Shuttle

     

    Terminal A (The Marine Air Terminal) presently serves Delta Shuttle airline, with gates 1-6. Its round-shaped Departure building connects to the Arrivals building leading to gates. (Past security check are two baggage claims, followed by gates 1 through 6)

    SMF was one of the quickest, most convenient airports because the terminal was small and efficient. I was off the plane and out of the terminal in 3 minutes, and on my way to rent a car. Now, however, it's added 15 minutes to my trip out of the terminal, and 15-30 minutes on return, depending on the lines for security. I'll be looking at other airports from now on (Oakland, Fresno, etc.).

     

    I agree. The new security in terminal B is nightmarish and takes way too long to get through.

     

    I agree that terminal B has slowed things down compared to the old setup, but alternate airports, gimme a break. The traffic and headache of going to OAK or SFO isn't worth it for me.

     

    Totally agree with Kevin!

    Arriving on United from Maui at 06:04 and departing on Air Canada for Calgary at 07:30. It looks as if we leave from Terminal 2 but what terminal do we arrive at from Maui? Is there enough time to get over to terminal 2?

    Terminal 3 security, even for first class, has been horrible since Continental moved in with UAL. In 4 of my 5 most recent trips, wait has been > 20 min. in the "elite" line. It was so bad last time, I got into the "regular" line at the Continental side of the terminal.

    I have one hour to get from my United Airlines flight arriving from Toronto to connect to my Wshington - Doha flight. What terminal will I arrive & depart from and is this enough times???

     

    One hour transfer is sufficient (use abovground TermiaLink connecting inside security. Note that United uses several gate areas; which Airline to Doha? This may help: A & B gates: The A gates (KLM Saudi Arabian, TACA, United, AirFrance, Continental, United, Korean, Virgin Atlantic) has gates A1-A6 ; AeroTrain in center, and Gates A15-32. B Gates (Lufthansa, JetBlue, Virgin America, American, Continental, Delta, SAS, Austrian, British, Southwest, JetBlue, Virgin America), has gates B35-51 and B63-79,with AeroTrain in the center. C & D gates: The C gates, (United, Continental) have gates C30-17, divided from the remaining C gates C14-1 by a walkway; the D gates, (United, Continental), presently not served by Aerotrain but by shuttle bus, have gates D1-29; the shuttle to main Terminal & A gates leaves between gates D15-21 and D9-11.

     

    Here are more details - WE will be arriving on United 5859 on nov19 and departing on Qatar air 52 on Nov 19 departs 945pm ...... which is my best route to make sure I make my flight

     

    Arrive IAD on United 3726 operated by Mesa Air at 4:06p and need to connect to Austrian Air 94 departing at 5:40p. How do I get from respective gates?

    I arrive on Continental flt. 1035 at 2:30 PM and do not yet know the arrival gate, I depart in one hour at 3:30 and I believe it leaves from Terminal A. Is that enough time to make the connection and how do I get from the arrival gate to the departure gate in Terminal A without going through security again?

     

    Continental uses domestic Terminals A, B, C and international Terminal TE. Use the above-ground TerminaLink train inside security to connect to your next flight. When arriving, look at the screen to find your connecting gate number. A gates are A1-30; B gates are 60-88; C gates are C14-45 and E-gates are E1-45. NOTE: If arriving at gates C29-45 and transferring to E gates, walk towards gates C14-24 and proceed straight on to TE.

     

  • Terminal 7 to 4 - enough time

    Hi there, I'm flying in to terminal 7 on a United flight - at least I think that's the correct terminal - arriving at 8.15pm and I need to be on a QF leaving at 11.25pm. Will I have enough time to get my bag off the domestic United flight then check it + clear immigration for the Qantas flight from terminal 4?

     

    1. United Express serves both terminals 7 and 8 (look at your ticket for gate number - T7 has gates 70-77; T8 has gates 80-88. As only T5, 6 & 7 are connected by tunnel, you need to exit your domestic terminal 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. (T8 to T4 - 4 stops - about 10 mins. 2. Only international arrivals (US and foreign citizens) need to go through customs clearance. When checking in your bags at your original Airport, make sure your bags are properly tagged to your end destination.

     

    on 11/28 will be arriving at lax on American Eagle (partner w/Alaska) then connecting to Alaska flight to Cabo San Lucas. Where do I arrive on American Eagle and then how do I get to the Alaska International departure? Then when reuturning from Int'nation Alaska flight from Cabo and customs...how do I get to the American Eagle departure area.? thank you.

    How long does it take to get from terminal 5 to terminal 1

     

    You arrive at the International Terminal - note that all international arrivals need to go through passport check, pick up their bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in their bags - that takes on average 30 mins. A level below the Federal inspection is the ATS level which houses the ATS shuttle train running every few minutes between the terminals. At T1 you arrive in the secured area where you should proceed to closeby gate B6, or walk past gate B8 at right to take walkway to C gates, or turn left to C15 gate. (look at your ticket for gate number).

    how long would it take to walk from terminal 2 to terminal 8

     

    Unfortunately, you cannot walk. Terminals are arranged in U-shape - TBIT is in the inside curve, T4-8 are to the right, T3-1 are to the left. You need to exit T2 and take the LAX bus Route A on lower arrival level island in front of the terminal, under sign 'LAX shuttle airline connection', which runs every 12-15 mins. Your next stops are: T3, TBIT, T4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 - seven stops about 15-17 mins.

    It would be best to contact SMF at http://www.sacramento.aero/smf/contact/

     

  • connection between gates 55 and 69B

    We are scheduled to arrive at 220pm at gate 55 and leave again at 255pm out of gate 69B. You said there is a tunnel between these terminals...This seems like a very tight airline created connection. How long will it take us to cover that distance?

     

    Gate 55 at T5 is right near the tunnel to T6 - Gate 69B is north (or at left when exiting tunnel), a short walk.
