There’s a new time-saving way to get from San Francisco’s Terminal 3 to the airport’s International Terminal Boarding Area G: Walk.

Before now, travelers on international San Francisco flights had to wade through an environmentally unfriendly and complicated process when it came to making their connecting flight. To transfer from domestic flights to international departures, flyers had to exit security from Terminal 3, then re-enter through security in the International Terminal’s Boarding Area G or ride a shuttle bus between the two buildings.

A new 400-foot “sterile” (post-security) connecting corridor puts an end to all that.

The connector not only gets passengers to their airplanes faster, SFO officials say it eliminates some 60 shuttle bus trips per week, and more than 30 tons of greenhouse gasses.

The airport estimates more than 3,000 flyers each day will use the new passage way, this as they transfer between domestic gates 60 – 90, and international gates G-91 – G-101.
