connecting at AUH
cannot find the old thread...sorry.
can anyone describe the transit process at AUH?
i will be arriving at T3 from DUS having next flight to BKK from the same terminal.
connecting time is 2:50 minutes.is it enough?
i need to pass security check...is it straightforward or very chaotic ? (as it is in DXB or DOH)...i arrive 05:05 local time.how busy is the airport at that time?
distance to gate can be done by easy walk or power walk?
thank you.

Last year was the first time I connected through AUH and found it extremely easy. 2:50 minutes is plenty of time to connect.
I cannot recall if you have to go through security again, but if you do, it should be relatively easy. I did because I connected to a flight to the US and security was right at the gate, but not sure if all flights do that. There is security just to enter the terminal IIRC.
Distance to gate is quite walkable. In fact if you want to go to Terminal 1 you can walk that quite easily, but you will have to go through security to get back to Terminal 3 IIRC.
