US Airways Moving?
I heard that US Airways will be moving from the A concourse (temporarily the S satellite) to the N satellite--in keeping with their new marketing alliance with UA. Anyone else heard this?
I know that SK moved there as well but it turned out to be a terrible decision because customs and immigration obviously wouldn't move from S to N and it seemed silly for people to check-in at the main terminal north whether they'd clear security at the main terminal south.
I suppose this means that ground handling of US will now be handled by UA.

The real issue (if it is one) of SAS being in the North Terminal would be the ferrying of the A340 from the South Terminal where Customs & Immigration is, to the North Terminal for the departing flight. Is a 2h10m layover enough time?

UPDATE: If all goes according to plan US Airways will be moving at the end of the month (9/30). Ticket counters will be located at the north end of the terminal (already being set up - United lost 7 counter positions [actually less because the new replacement counters have a smaller footprint]); gates will be at the North Satellite

Good, because otherwise US pax would literally have to walk from the airport's southernmost point (current check-in counter) to its northernmost (gates).
Are the new Concourse A carriers going to move into the southernmost check-in counters in the Main Terminal?

I'm guessing that the SAS Lounge in the South Terminal is the only thing prohibiting the North Satellite in becoming the Star Alliance Satellite!

Yes, the move took place last night (checked it out today) - from the Port website:
"US Airways has moved its ticket counter from the south end of the Main Terminal to the far north end, next to the United Airlines counter. US Airways flights now depart from the North Satellite and the airline uses Carousel 15 at the far north end of Baggage Claim."
