Just wondering if there was an airside route from T3<->T2 at SFO please?

Mods, maybe we should have a sticky/wiki only about SFO: moving between terminals, connection times, lounges, AirTrain, BART, taxis/Uber, etc. Top of the list would be this recurring question about whether one can stay airside between terminals. (No criticism intended, Markie -- it's a good question).

Maybe the answer will be yes at some point. A T2-T3E bridge would make 60% of the SFO gates connected airside. That would cover the vast majority of airside connections passengers want to make. Only International-A and T1B would be unconnected.

But not likely soon unfortunately. The time to do it would have been in conjunction with the T3E remodel, adding something like the new T2-T1C connector. Opportunity missed.

I wonder if it could be done by building an airside/landside wall in the landside pathway between T2 and T3E. Maybe that's completely impractical.

Yes, I just wanted to pop to the Centurion Lounge - and not to have to do Security twice. Looks like I'll slum it in the Admirals Club!

It's also worth noting that any current or previous airside connections (including the T3-IntlG bridge and the T1B shuttle) were solely to accomodate UA (and indirectly *A, although SFO didn't do AC any favors by placing them in International A for years.)

Opportunity for whom, exactly? The gates in T2 and T3 aren't common use, and since there's no overlap between carriers/alliances between the T2 tenants (VX & AA) and T3's tenant (UA, also the principal tenant of International G with the other *A carriers), who stands to benefit from an airside connection between T2 & T3E?
