SFO - ticketing moving to T2 - D gates + C gates in T1 on 6.23.20
Mods: I couldn't find a thread here, but one likely exists, please move if so!
This came up over in the AS forum, but DL will move ticketing to T2 this coming Tuesday, June 23rd and will utilize the D gates there in addition to C gates in T1.
What is interesting to me, is that the airside connector will be closed during the construction. Although it's still my understanding that the construction itself has been delayed, so that likely won't go into effect for awhile - from the press release linked below:
"With the closure of Delta’s current ticket counter location, passenger movement between Harvey Milk Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 will be limited during construction activity. Passengers are encouraged to use AirTrain to transfer between terminals or walk into the Domestic Hourly Parking Garage. Harvey Milk Terminal 1 can be accessed via Tunnel B on Level 1 of the garage, and Terminal 2 can be accessed via Tunnel C or Tunnel D on Level 1 of the garage."

Delta flights will depart from gates in Boarding Areas C and D, both accessible from the security checkpoint in Terminal 2.

T2 to T1 is an anomaly at SFO. The only true "connector" is airside across from the former Admirals Club post-security.
And yes, it'll be limited landside, which means the Airtrain or the parking garage.

From the C side, the T1-2 airside connector to D is easy to find next to the exit to baggage claim. In fact the airside connector has a really nice sofa seating area (good for naps in a long delay) and a slightly secret but public yoga room. And great views of the ramp.
With DL Check-in counters near the T2 Starbucks, it seems like it’ll make for a nice walk from the BART station (unlike currently having to walk around 3/4 of the airport)
I’ll miss being able to use the C security checkpoint for now though, I’ve been lucky enough to never wait long in the pre check line there, which always seemed like a nice convenience.

It’s not an awful walk. At least 5 but not more than 10 minutes stroll depending on your gait. Ive definitely makes that trek many times when using the AC and having a AA departure from the C gates.

It is a pleasant and easy walk, and compared to JFK T4, where one stays in the "comfort and convenience of the same terminal," the SFO D to C airside walk is like a spa day.

Is the sidewalk closed on the ticketing level? In leiu of the hallway, That would be the shortest landslide route from T1 to T2

I believe they will be closing it temporarily during construction yes. You'll have to cross into the parking garage then cross back. Or take the airtrain.

In this case, the poor wording simply created more confusion.

Right, but even with the "concourse" nomenclature, excluding midfield airport designs, the concourses are still part of the larger terminal - the terminal refers to the whole building regardless of whether it's airside or landside.

This probably makes sense now that it's more closely connected to T2 (via airside walkway) than to the rest of T1.

C will go back to terminal 1 (with a new airside connection between B and C) after the construction.
Incidentally, at that point, the only missing airside connection will be D to E, expected to open in 2021. (ignoring A to G but that's never gonna happen I imagine)

Yes, and cause DL is using both C and D currently.
C will go back to terminal 1 (with a new airside connection between B and C) after the construction.

So once B to C and D to E are done, you’ll be able to go from A to G airside.
