About this location
The H/K connector is where Terminal 3 passengers change concourses, so this counts as a stop you pass rather than one you detour for. It opens at 6am, an hour after the first American departures start boarding out of H, and runs to 10pm. Burritos and bowls, ordered at a counter, eaten standing or carried to a gate. There is no table service and seating in the connector is limited, so most people take it with them.
