Flying into SFO Question

Hi Everyone

I am flying UA into terminal 3 at SFO then I have to catch a flight out of the international terminal G. I have 2 questions since I have never been to SFO.


1. Is 50 minutes enough time for the stop over to go between the 2 terminals

2. On a website it says "A secure connector allows passengers, transferring from domestic flights in Terminals 2 & 3 to international flights in Boarding Area G, to walk directly to their new gate without having to exit and re-enter security or ride a shuttle bus between the two buildings. "

I was just wondering if anyone know if that is still the case where you do not have to go through a tsa checkpoint from terminal 3 to international terminal G? I would like to not have the family go through the nude o scopes if possible.

thank you

An easy walk - just make sure you don't accidentally go landside - (but there's an error - no current airside connection from T-2).

You could actually land in T3 where the walkway to the G gates is almost there, or you could end up in the piers with the mid-70s to 90 gates. I'd say 15 to 20 minute slow walk from the furthest end points of each. I'd want a longer connection, however, as you are likely arriving on a domestic flight more prone to delays, and leaving on an international flight less likely for delays.
