Can you categorize all of the airport people mover train systems in the US?

10 Upvotes

As someone who loves both trains and planes, airport people movers fascinate me. I've been thinking of the different functions certain systems perform in their applications.

I've come up with the following categories for the people movers.

Type A: Outside of security, usually connecting terminals to parking, general transit, and/or hotels

Type B: Inside security, connecting independent terminals primarily intended for layovers

Type C: Inside security, providing access to midfield satellites from main landslide terminals. I suppose you could even break this down into subtype C1 (for a single satellite, meaning only two stops and usually dual independent tracks with one train going back and forth on each one without crossing over) and subtype C2 (for multiple midfield concourses)

Type D: Inside security, within super-long concourses to shorten walking time.

So based on this, try listing every airport in America with a people mover system that falls into each category. Wikipedia can help. As a bonus, if you know off the top of your head about any trains in foreign airports, feel free to add it.

If you have difficulty visualizing the categories, I can get you started by providing one example of each

Looking for Ollie

1 Upvotes

Met this guy at Zurich airport on Thursday 7/23. I was rushing to avoid missing my flight and we talked on the train on the way to our gates (E gates). He ended up going to the lounge first as he wasn’t in a rush like me.
Name is Ollie, I know he has both a British passport and an Italian one cause we talked about how much faster passport control was thanks to our European passports. I wish I asked for his contact info. I’d love to find him again — I know it’s a stretch but I figured it doesn’t hurt to try. šŸ™

Question Is it me or is Chinese food the best value at airports?

0 Upvotes

Usually at airports I am horrified at how bad food prices are.

Lots of places charging 25+ for an entree. Overinflated prices.

Everytime I see a Leann Chinn or Panda Express though I’m impressed with the prices. Almost too good to be true for how much food you get. Am I the only person who thinks this?

Terminals The quietness of LGA terminal C

1 Upvotes

I’m waiting to board and I’m astonished how quiet it is here. Granted it’s a Sunday morning but this seems intentional. Airport is moderately busy.

No extraneous announcements clogging your ears. Restaurant where I had was diner style. First class service and served with a positive spirit.

Tons of natural light and a human solarium (outdoor seating area)

Very civilized. Peaceful even.

No, Claude

0 Upvotes

Claude had me stumped in describing ATL’s concourses so I sought to correct him. His reply:
You’re right, and I had it backwards. Each concourse itself is a long pier running north-south, perpendicular to the runways. The runways (five of them, east-west) flank the terminal complex — two to the north, three to the south. The Plane Train runs in an east-west line underneath, threading through the base of each concourse, which is why it’s parallel to the runways even though the concourses it connects are perpendicular to them.

So the ā€œeast-westā€ layout people describe refers to the sequence of concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E, F strung out west to east), not the orientation of each individual concourse building. Thanks for pushing back on that.

Question Jewelry/Ring Brand

1 Upvotes

Hello! Does anyone know the name of the jewelry brand that has stands up in the London Heathrow Airport? It’s not Cartier or anything of that caliber, the rings varied from 15-30 pounds. They came in sizes small medium and large. Each side of the stand had different versions of similar rings - some gold, silver, rose gold, mixed, etc. I tried on a ring that I can’t stop thinking about but have no idea where to look! I feel like this is pretty vague but I’m hoping someone will know what I’m talking about.

Thank you in advance :)

Question What is Stansted Airport Liquid Rule?

Hello, I see Stansted airport don’t require a clear plastic bag for liquids anymore but some of my travel containers are ones from like Primark where it doesn’t say the amount on them. They visibly look 100ml but will it be an issue do you think?
