do I go OUT through customs and basically re-go through security again like a local pax?
thanks
This reply is coming too late for the OP, but the answer is Yes.
YOW is my home airport, so I don't tend to transfer here, but it should work something like this:
Checked bags:
There used to be a transfer desk on the arrivals level (turn left after exiting the Customs hall, but I haven't seen it lately (there is a new wall). If you can't find it, take the escalator or elevator up two levels level. The AC check-in desks are easy to find. After check-in, go back down one level, through security, turn left to head to the AC lounge if you have *G status, otherwise there are a few sitdown dining choices airside.
No checked bags:
Exit Customs, go up one level, walk, walk, walk to the SE end of the terminal, domestic/international security is on the middle level (departures) of YOW.
