terminals connected airside?
I'm going to be flying to/from MIA on Delta, so I assume terminal H.
I'd like to try the new train while I am there. Are the various terminals connected air side, or does each terminal have its own security so that I won't be able to enter the areas used by AA/One world with my Delta boarding pass?
(Any suggestions for things to do/see while I am at MIA?)

Very cool.. Rode it this morning on arrival from EZE. Felt quite un-Miami like to ride the train. Even the ride up the escalator is reminiscent of DFW. Its also cool that they segregate the sterile arrivals area from the departing PAX's.
Now the bad.. Its still quite a hike for INTL arrivals from Station-2 where they make you get off to the E immigration hall. I think there is a new immigration hall coming (recall reading something here) so perhaps that will be mitigated soon.

and this new train gives me some hope. I am tempted to try it. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the train would make this achievable? The hike from station 2 that redrock mentions sounds like it's still quite a walk. I'm willing to bring my jogging shoes, though.

I have an AA flight arriving in Miami from Rio that lands 5:15 AM. My connecting AA flight departs at 6:25 AM. My previous experiences in Miami lead me to think it's not enough time to deplane, hike to immigration/customs (just carry-on bags), and then trek back to terminal D. However, my next best connecting flight would be 12:40 PM and this new train gives me some hope. I am tempted to try it. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the train would make this achievable?

MIA FL at E gate still open
The FL at the old E gate is still open until Sept 28th.
We are enjoying it pre-departure.
The new AC at the d-15 gate is not open yet, but supposed to open Sept 28th, when the E lounge closes.
As others have already posted, the new FL at the D-30/37 location is scheduled for spring 2011.
And the trains are running nicely.
Cheers,

An AC staff member told me that the "E" Club staff would work their last night in the "E" Club on the evening of the 28th, and would then report to the new "D" Club on the morning of the 29th.
