Both San Francisco International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport have added connectors that make it easier to get around.

At SFO, there’s a new connector bridge linking United’s Terminal 3 to the international terminal.  That’s great news not only because passengers connecting from domestic to international flights no longer need to exit the domestic terminal and clear security before going to the new gates, but because the international terminal has some great shops and restaurants.

At PHL, there’s a new D/E Connector, which means travelers can now walk straight through from Terminal A West through Terminal E without having to through security again.  The new connector comes with new artwork and ten new stores and restaurants, including Vino Volo, Borders, InMotion Entertainment, Peet’s Coffee and Teas, Taxco Sterling, Tech Showcase and more.
