SFO: Terminal 3 (UA) to Terminal 1 (US) - connection
I am transiting SFO on:
UA flight from HNL landing at 5:08am
to
US flight to PHX at 6:05am
So it appears I have to go from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1. What is the fastest way to do this? Do I have to re-clear security in Terminal 1?

Yes, you will have to re-clear security in Terminal 1. Take AirTrain two stops to T1. The AirTrain station is one level above departures/check in. That should be enough time to connect if your HNL flight is not delayed.
You can visit the SFO website for more info and maps.

I know some folks said just walk, but I'd really recommend AirTrain since you're shorter on time.

The red-eyes eastbound from HNL, if your winds are good, get in early. Further, even with inclement weather, they are (1) given priority, as they've been in the air for hours, and (2) arrive prior to the arrival delay backups.
