FLL: Terminal 1 to Terminal 2

Quick question: In a few weeks I will be arriving on a DL flight (T2) in FLL. A friend arriving on Southwest (T1) will be meeting me.

I understand T1 and T2 are not connected behind security so I will have my friend meet me at DL baggage claim. Is it possible to just walk from T1 to T2 or does he need to take a shuttle? If one can walk, where is the connector located?

Yes, I did this last year. I arrived on SW and walked to the Delta terminal baggage claim at T2 to meet my cousin. It is a very easy walk. Just go downstairs (baggage claim level) in the SW terminal, go outside, take a right. The sidewalk will take you there. Most of the walk is covered. It is only a few hundred yards to the first entrance into T2 baggage claim.

Yes, you can easily just walk it. I walk from T2 to T1 all the time rather than waiting on the rental car shuttle to come around. (Rental Car center is attached to T1 and DL operates out of T2.)

Be aware that as a result of last week's incident, Delta has been using baggage claims in Terminal 3. I haven't seen any updates about when Terminal 2 baggage claim will reopen. I would hope that it would be reopen by then but something to keep aware of.

I almost posted the terminal change, but did a quick look and Delta is back to their normal terminal.

Be careful out there. You don't want this happen again. Used caution.

NoStressHere was correct. They've moved everything back to T2 http://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-N...erdale-airport

FLL is my home airport--the walk between T 1&2 is about 5 minutes.

I've walked between Terminals 1 and 2 many times. They are right next to each other and connected by a sidewalk. Couldn't be easier!

The Measure Distance tool on Google Maps saw it's approximately 816 feet (248 meters) door to door.
