I'd add that while I've complained about the Intl Shuttle A LOT here, the past couple of times it's been somewhat better. It's still a long schlepp between domestic and international, but the shuttles were coming one right after another. It would take a while to get everybody loaded with their massive amounts of luggage, but another one would pull right up.
