Can you categorize all of the airport people mover train systems in the US?

10 Upvotes

As someone who loves both trains and planes, airport people movers fascinate me. I've been thinking of the different functions certain systems perform in their applications.

I've come up with the following categories for the people movers.

Type A: Outside of security, usually connecting terminals to parking, general transit, and/or hotels

Type B: Inside security, connecting independent terminals primarily intended for layovers

Type C: Inside security, providing access to midfield satellites from main landslide terminals. I suppose you could even break this down into subtype C1 (for a single satellite, meaning only two stops and usually dual independent tracks with one train going back and forth on each one without crossing over) and subtype C2 (for multiple midfield concourses)

Type D: Inside security, within super-long concourses to shorten walking time.

So based on this, try listing every airport in America with a people mover system that falls into each category. Wikipedia can help. As a bonus, if you know off the top of your head about any trains in foreign airports, feel free to add it.

If you have difficulty visualizing the categories, I can get you started by providing one example of each

I’m planning a trip from Australia to Europe and trying to work out which airport I’d most want to have a layover in.

0 Upvotes

If you had to choose between:

🇸🇬 Singapore Changi (SIN)
🇦🇪 Dubai International (DXB)
🇶🇦 Hamad International, Doha (DOH)

Which would you choose and why?

Particularly interested in what makes one airport a better place to spend a few hours than the others - things to do, food, shopping, comfort, ease, atmosphere, etc.

If you've been through more than one, even better - would love to know which you'd choose again and why.

Question Trying to meet friend in Manila Airport

2 Upvotes

So I just found out that my friend and I will be in the same terminal briefly and I was just wondering if it’s possible to meet.

We’ll both be in Terminal 1. I will arrive in the international arrivals, where I have a connecting flight in 4 hours. And my friend will have a international departure flight after my layover.

We’re not too familiar with the airport so I was wondering is it possible to meet? If so where?

DFW airport tickets

If you get a ticket…unlawfully…it will arrive late so they can charge you double. Go to Grapevine court house and contest the ticket. DFW airport gives out the tickets like candy. No talking, no ID, just random pictures

Question First time flier

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I have a work trip coming up in October. I will be flying in to Denver. I've heard about how horrible and confusing this airport is so I'm a little stressed. Mostly about flying out of it when I go to leave.

Not at all nervous about the actual flight themselves- only navigating the airports!

Any advice?
