Use the Airport Loop (Red Bus). They make a continuous circuit between the terminals for free.

Minimum Connection Time

Hi all...is 65 minutes enough time to get from the Commuter Terminal to Terminal 1? It's allowing me to book it but I'm a little weary. And I assume I have to go back through security?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

Never had a problem (OK, the three times I did it) including two months ago when I handed them my BP and said:

"yes, I know I'm in the wrong terminal, but I'm going to UC."

Works at IAH as well

If there is a shuttle inside secure area, I didn't see one. Once you exit Commuter Terminal, you have to reclear security, and I'm guessing that would depend on time of day on how long it takes.

Is it doable? Probably. Would I be nervous doing it? Yes

Thank you for the reply. I decided to add a little more time and take a later flight.

So it sounds like if I'm flying AS out of T1 and trying to access WN's gates (still in T1, but a separate concourse), there should be a decent chance they'll let me through?

I'm seeing a relative off on a WN flight before catching my own AS flight.

Thanks.
