    I am arriving by China eastern Airline from Shanghai 1315 and have a transit flight by Delta Airlines to Miami at 1555Hrs, do I have enough time? What are the transport available between the terminals and how long does it take? Thx a lot

     

    1. As an international arrival, you need to count on at least 45 mins to go through passport control, pick up bags, go through customs control and re-check-in your properly tagged (with all 3 AP codes) bags. You arrive at JFK's Terminal 1 and depart at Terminals 3 (gates 1-18. 2. The free Airtrain runs every 7-15 minutes, depending on the time of day. T1's station is at Arrivals level, outside, center, T3's station is outside domestic arrivals. The train takes only minutes between them.

    I arrivingin nov 2 from Manila in Philippines airlines at 20.00 hrs. and have a connection fly with Alaska airlines going to Portland at Nov 3, 6:30 am what can i do?

     

    1. You arrive at LAX at the TBIT (or TB) terminal and depart from Terminal 3. 2. An an international arrival at LAX Airport you need to first go through passport control, pick up bags, go through customs clearance, then re-check-in your properly tagged (with codes of all 3 airports) bags (your bags will automatically arrive in Portland.) Even though LAX has nearly 50 hotel/motels located right on-Airport property and the Tom Bradley terminal offers free phone boards in the baggage area, connecting to hotels/motels, many of which offer free shuttle services, you may also be able to stay overnight at the Airport. In the morning you can proceed to Terminal 3 by using the secure connector (T3 is to the left of Tom Bradley terminal).

    I arrive at on Delta at terminal 3 and depart from terminal 5 for Hong Kong. I have about 2 hours but will have to pick up baggage and recheck them for other carrier. Can I make it ok?

     

    1. Only international arrivals need to go through baggage recheck. At your original departure airport, make sure that your checked bags are tagged for all 3 airport codes so that they arrive safely in Hong Kong. 2. A shuttle train, the ATS, runs between T5 (he ATS level) & T4 and takes only minutes. You have plenty of time.

     

    Even if my original carrier from MSP is Delta and I am flying International on Cathay Pacific? Delta will check the bag all the way through?

    Hi there, I am travelling from Ottawa (Yow) to Belize City via Newark (1h30mins layover). Both flights are continental. Can someone tell me if I will need to pick up and re-check my baggage and if I will have to go through customs? I do not understand why I can't just change terminals if I am already precleared in Ottawa?

     

    These are Ottawa Airport rules: "Flight connection from an International flight to the United States: If your flight originated outside of Canada or the U.S. and you need to connect to a US destination, you have two options depending on whether your airline automatically transfers your baggage or not: (a) if it does, and you have a boarding pass to your connecting flight, proceed via a connecting flights corridor (avoiding Canadian Customs), go through US Customs and your checked baggage will be automatically transferred (US Customs, at their discretion, can recall your baggage for manual inspection). (b) if the airline does not offer auto transfer of your baggage, you have to pick it up from the carousel & follow first normal international arrivals procedures, then U.S. ones." In short, if Ottawa is one of the Canadian APs offering US customs clearance, you don't have to go through customs in Newark, but either way time is sufficient. The Airtrain connects all 3 terminals and takes minutes.

    hi, I arrive at T8 18.30 from San Luis Obispo. I need to get to international terminal for 20.40 departure to UK. do I have enough time to get to terminal, chck in and thru security in time ? Will my bags be checked straight thru from United to BA ? tHANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

     

    First of all - you have plenty of time! The 9 terminals at LAX are arranged in a horseshoe formation, with TBIT, the international terminal, also referred to as Tom Bradley terminal, is in the curve, with T4-T8 to the right and T3-T1 to the left. 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. Your next stops after T8 are T1, T2, T3 and TBIT - 4 stops - 10 minutes. At TBIT you need to go through security again. Thereafter enjoy what the terminal offers and be at the gate area no later than 30 mins. prior to scheduled departure.

    We fly in on UA980 and depart UA3776, What is the distance between terminals?

     

    1. If you arrive on an international flight and connect to a domestic flight: (a) Unless you have gone through US customs clearance by participating airports in Canada and the Caribbean, 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). (b) thereafter proceed up one level to Airport Transit System ATS and take train to domestic terminals 1, 2 or 3 (running every few mins). 2. If you arrive on a domestic flight, UA & UA Express serves both T1 & T2. - T1 has B&C gates; T2 has E&F gates. Both T1 & T2 are connected by a pedestrian tunnel, also around B gates is a walkway to some F gates. While most E&F gates are on the Mezzanine level of T2, the F11A,B,C gates are on the lower level. Look at your ticket indicating your gates (B14, F12, etc.)

     

    Hi , can you tell me where they do the bag recheck-in? Terminal 5 or 1 if Term 1 is where the connecting flight is? I hope passangers don't need to lug the bags from Term 5 to Term 1!!!! Thanks!

    Arriving on an international United flight from Canada and con't on another United flight - where do I go re: baggage pick-up ? Where do I go to go through security from there and where do I go to depart on another United flight ?

     

    Canada has a number of Airports which offer pre-clearance for travelers heading to the U.S. If your Airport does not have such service, you need to go through passport check, pick up your bag, go through customs clearance and then recheck-in your bag, which should have all three Airport codes on the tag. You arrive and depart from Concourse B, which has gates B15-37, B38-61 and B62-79 & B80-95. (look at your ticket to see which gate you continue on.

    Question - Is 1 hr 17min enough time to make a connecting flight from Continental 1501 ( from Houston ) to United 5561 ( to Regina Canada)?

     

    Continental arrives in Terminal 1 which has B and C gates (i.e., B10, C-32, etc.) If arriving from an international flight you need to go through passport control, pick up your bags, go through customs clearance and then re-check-in your bag (estimated time 30-40 mins.); then proceed to Terminal 2 which has the E & F gates. Both terminals are connected at their gate areas. Look at your ticket for gate number (i.e., E-10, F-9, etc.)

    I am flying CA flight 4685 from cincinnati on 11/4 and only have 36 minutes to catch my flight to San Fran flight 1033. Which terminal will I arrive and which one to leave

     

    Presuming you use Continental CO (not CA) you would arrive & depart at IAH at either domestic terminals A, B or C - arriving at SFO in Terminal 3. Look at your ticket which will indicate your gates at IAH (i.e., A2, B60, C29).

    I am flying on Continental from Honolulu [co2] and have 35mins to board my fl co4274 to Atlanta. Which terminal do I arrive at and which do I depart from ?

     

    You arrive and depart from Terminal 6 which has gates 60-67. Look at your ticket to see what gate you depart from. You have enough time unless your plane is very late.
