2. Not that I've tried it, but at CAI there is an elevated automated people mover between T1 and T3.

For what it's worth there is a newly-opened CAI hotel - Le Meridien.
Interesting to see the Meridien is now open it looked well placed and reasonably decent from outside last time I passed through CAI.

Is the people mover the rail track thing that runs from the side of T1? When did that go operational?

MS used to operate a direct flight to SSH (horrid 737 config IIRC) has that now been scrapped?
