Connection guides

Airport by airport: which connections stay inside security, where you need a train or a bus, and where you clear security again.

BNA Nashville

Connecting at Nashville: the satellite gates and the bus across the apron

Connecting at Nashville (BNA)? Most gates are a walk apart, but gates C4–C11 are a bus ride across the apron. How to plan it, from a pilot.

DEN Denver

Connecting at Denver: the train, the long walks and the weather

Connecting at Denver (DEN)? You never clear security twice, but the train, long concourse walks and the weather decide your margin. A pilot's guide.

DTW Detroit (Romulus)

Connecting at Detroit: McNamara, Evans and the shuttle between them

Connecting at Detroit (DTW)? Delta connections stay in the McNamara Terminal. Switching to Evans means a shuttle and security again. Here's how to plan it.

EWR Newark

Connecting at Newark: United's shuttle, the AirTrain and security

Connecting at Newark (EWR)? United's airside shuttle links Terminals A and C. Other terminal changes often mean the AirTrain and TSA again. Here's how it works.

JFK New York (Queens)

Connecting at New York JFK? Changing terminals means the free AirTrain and a second TSA check. How to plan it, and the Delta Terminal 4 exception.

LGA New York (Queens)

Connecting at LaGuardia: Terminal B, Terminal C and the walk in between

Connecting at LaGuardia (LGA)? Delta is in Terminal C and most other airlines are in B. Switching between them means leaving security. Here's how to plan it.
