Must I change terminals or do anything else while traveling the same airline the whole journey?
I plan on taking an exclusively Delta flight from Birmingham Shuttlesworth to Bangor international and I'm worried about having to change terminals or go through security again when i stop for my layovers in Atlanta and JFK International, or if i can keep layovers shorter by being able to remain in the same terminal through the whole journey. Thank you for your time and help, and have a great day!
Each airport is different. At Atlanta all the terminal concourses are connected and you won't have to go through security again.
At JFK Delta operates from Terminal 2 and Terminal 4. These terminals are not physically connected. If your flight from Atlanta arrives at one terminal and your flight to Bangor departs from the other you will have to leave the terminal, take the AirTrain to the other terminal and go through security again. Your luggage, though, will be checked from Birmingham all the way through to Bangor.
You won't know what terminal and gate your flights will use until the day you travel, and even then the gate may change right up to the boarding time.
All of the concourses at ATL are connected inside security. If you have to get from one to another, just go down to the train and take it in the right direction to the next one.
If you have to go from one of Delta's terminals to the other at JFK, you can use the Jitney shuttle that connects the two inside security.
Also, you aren't on an exclusively Delta flight. You are on three Delta flights.
In Atlanta, they have concourses so you do not have to go through security again. You may have to switch concourses but it is pretty easy in Atlanta. They have a train that connects all the concourses or you can just walk.
As for JFK, Delta has 2 terminals. Depending on which one you arrive at and which one your flight departs from, you may or may not have to switch.
- Can I move between terminals at LAX? My brother has a United flight and I have a Delta in the domestic travel area. We're heading to the same location but want to have dinner together in the airport. Am I able to move between terminals?
- Is it safe for two planes to take off at the same time at the same airport? I was wondering because I was flying out of Guangzhou airport in China and I saw another plane on another runway take off almost at the same time we did (he was headed away from us though)
- I did an interview for Delta airlines and in the video interview I accidentally said American Airlines? Has anyone else had this problem? I caught it very quickly and said delta immediately and kept saying delta in the other answers. Do you think it can cost me the next step of the process?
- I've been applying to flight attendant positions and was wondering how much notice do airlines give you before you must attend training? How much time do you have to say goodbye to family, friends, etc before you go away to the training program? I applied to Delta, United, and American, so if there are varying time frames per airline, please let me know.
