Anubi Posted November 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2018 We are flying Air Canada in G Concourse from SFO and wanted to access the KLM-Air France lounge which is in A Concourse. However, I read somewhere that we would need to go back through security if we did that. Can anyone positively confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbgd Posted November 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2018 These parts of the airport are not connected airside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pinotlover Posted November 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2018 JFK, LAX, and SFO are some of our older airports where the Airport Authorities never found it cost efficient to connect the terminals inside of security. Sad situation! Of course, neither did Toronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a United lounge in G Concourse but it appears to be a first come first served. I guess we'll take our chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often hear people complain or worry about connecting through Atlanta because it's so huge or so busy or whatever. But one BIG plus to ATL is that all terminals/concourses/gates are connected airside, and that is super convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbgd Posted November 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 29, 2018 One thing I should note, that not many people are aware of, is that TSA will allow you into a terminal/concourse/airside area that you are not departing from. As long as you have a same day boarding pass from that airport you will be able to clear security anywhere in that airport. So if the AF/KLM lounge is your only option and you don't mind clearing security twice it is something to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
