There's also an elevated route that avoids waiting for the pedestrian signals at the crosswalks (there are three road crossings on the route):

From T1, you can take the stairs or elevator up from directly under the skyway to the P1 lot. When you get across, you're on level 4 of P1, and have to go down one level (stairs or elevator right there) to level 3 of P1, and you can walk straight across the road bridge between P1 and P7, saving you having to get across the center road if there's traffic. At the far side of P7 there's a structure with stairs and elevators that takes you up one level to get to the bridge across to T7, so the bridges to the terminals are on level 4, even though P7 only has 3 parking levels. If you're fast on stairs it's likely faster than the ground level route-- I'll try timing it on the next few trips.
