Happy Holidays everyone! My wife and I are flying on the AA shuttle tomorrow from LGA-ORD. Looks like most of those shuttle flights depart from either concourse C or D at Terminal B, and right now our flight is indeed showing a departure from D5. We are interested in getting there early to check out the new Eastern Concourse, as we haven’t seen it yet and we’d like to have a bite there before takeoff at Kingside. It looks like this is technically possible by using the AA connecting bus.

I have a couple questions about this:

1) Will TSA allow us to clear security in the Eastern Concourse with our AA boarding pass with a departure gate in concourse D?

2) How often does the airside connecting bus run? And if leaving from the Eastern Concourse, is it likely to go concourse D-C-B or B-C-D in terms of stopping order? Just trying to figure out how much time we’d need to leave to get from Eastern to D.

Thanks very much!
