Just trying to avoid having to walk with the bags and go bag drop/checkin and then though the security at T4.
Also of note: The security check-in after baggage drop off below the new connector has next to no lines. It's crazy.
I arrived from LHR at TBIT, onward connection to YVR. Dropped off the bags at TBIT and right after you leave the airside area you can either
- go upstairs to use the regular TBIT security entrance (crazy lines)
- walk to T4 and use their security (more lines)
- take an immediate right downstairs at TBIT arrivals below the new connector for a really oddly placed security area - NO lines!
then you take the stairs 3 floors up (or the elevator) and you're at TBIT airside.
Really weird, but a really sweet shortcut.
