OK, did the new check-in route this morning. As reported the shuttle from T3 to T5 and then back again is no more (will pause here for a little dance of joy). We had a United flight and did have to walk the entire length of the terminal to the check-in desk after arriving at the terminal from the airport Hilton via the moving walkways (at least the 3 that were working out of the 5 total along the way). We then walked back the entire length to get from check-in to security -- followed by another extremely long walk to get to gate E41 (as you would guess, the furthest possible gate from security). Despite this, it was a heck of a lot better than lugging suitcases onto the shuttle bus and then being herded back onto another shuttle after check-in. We had premium access to check-in and were at the terminal at 8:15 AM on a Monday, all of which probably had an effect, but there was absolutely no line for security processing and about a 10 minute line to get through passport control. We were sitting in the lounge by 9:00 even with all the walking after we got into the terminal.
