Thanks for the welcome, swag, and the fast and very clear response!

That instantly puts my mind at ease.

I guess I will just transfer to the terminal for my outgoing flight (if not at the same terminal already) via skylink and then follow the exit signs to get out of security.

I will tell my friend to check the terminal and gate for the outgoing flight and meet at the nearest security check point.

That way I only have a short walk back to the gate before boarding.

Does that sound feasible?
