I love to travel, but I hate having to go through airports that I'm not familiar with. Any help would be great!
Its not particularly difficult, although there is a bit of distance involved. Here's how you do it....
If your flight (United) lands at Concourse C in Terminal 1, you'll take the escalator and (moving) walkway to Concourse B which is connected to the main terminal area (the portion with ticketing upstairs and baggage claim downstairs). You can either walk or catch the shuttle train to Terminal 2.
"Worst case scenario" walk would be 15-20 minutes. Shuttle train wouldn't save you much if you factor in possible five minute wait for the train. In either event, just watch for signs. The airport signage is reasonably good.
If you take the shuttle train, you'll have to re-enter security at Terminal 2. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can walk it without leaving and re-entering the secured area. I'm sure someone else on this forum would know for sure.
