Nice update, thanks.

In my experience, concourse E-D isn't too much of a walk - perhaps 1/2 the worst possible distance depending on where in each concourse you depart/arrive at.

Way worse is the end of C to the end of E or G (F/B are slightly shorter).

For the extremely bored FTer, the lengths of each concourse from 'tip' to 'intersection' (or intersection-intersection for D) is as follows:

B/F ~ 285m
A/C/E/G ~ 475m
D ~ 815m

So, arriving on TG on, say the tip of C, and walking to the end of E or G would be 1,765m - say 21 mins at 5 kph, more if meandering or dodging other travelers. There are longer walks possible at other airports.....

Fortunately, I'm back at work tomorrow and will have less idle time for such nonsense....
