All international arrivals are handled at T5 because they have to clear customs & immigration - this is the only terminal which has this facility. Countries like Canada or Aruba (and soon Ireland! ) which have pre-clearance facilities at their airports do not have to use T5 hence AC is located in T2.

San Juan is Domestic..... And all international flights must arrive at Term 5 to clear customs then UA/AA are pushed off to depart from their own terminals which is much cheaper and easier for the paxs. There is no customs yet at term 3 and term 1 UA/AA there was some talk of this years ago but it has not gone anywhere yet.

Are aircraft docking to T5 to let passengers out and then relocated to their designated departure terminal?

No I mean all arrivals are into T5 excluding preclearance airports - for Canadian airports for example, they would all arrive into T1 but all other arrivals from airports without preclearance would arrive into T5. Hope that isn't too confusing.

No just AA and UA flights are moved to their respective terminals after off loading passengers at T5. The following airlines arrive AND depart T5:

Quoting Kleinsim (Reply 11): Doesn't Lufthansa also do the gate dance of "unload T5, load T1"?
Yep it does.
Do airlines such as AA and UA get prepared for the turnaround at T5 or T3? Do they use T5 to load food fuel etc. and just load on passengers once their towed back to their "home" terminal? This would free up gate space if they did...

Wait, so AA's DUB flight can soon arrive into T3 instead of T5? The couple times I have done this flight, I wondered why we had to clear at DUB, yet still deal with the pain of T5 arrival (and thus T3 transfer) upon arrival at ORD. Perhaps it's because technically we clear border control at DUB but not customs?

For some airlines it depends on their handling company...for most of the Star Alliance carriers such as LH, they are handled by UA so LH will arrive into T5 for the pax to clear customs and then UA will tow the aircraft to T1 for departure. The same is true for IB because they are handled by AA - arrival to T5 and then towed to T3 for departure.
However this is not always the case - SAS is a star alliance member and their flights arrive AND depart from T5 because they are handled by Continental. If UA or AA handled VS, VS would arrive at T5 but depart from either T1 or T3 respectively, but because they are handled by Swissport, VS arrived and departs from T5.
It can be a pain especially if you are arriving on a UA international flight and departing on a domestic UA flight.

Well DUB won't be equipped with US CBP Preclearance until Terminal 2 opens (around April 2010) but Shannon (our other big airport) will open the new updated post in July meaning all passengers originating in SNN could theoretically arrive at any airport/terminal in the US without the need to clear immigration/customs etc.
I was wondering if, once DUB and SNN have the new facilities, airports such as ORD would transfer EI to another terminal (maybe T2 or T1 because of the EI/UA partnership) but after reading Alphaomega's reply I'm not too sure...
Quoting Alphaomega (Reply 16): If UA or AA handled VS, VS would arrive at T5 but depart from either T1 or T3 respectively, but because they are handled by Swissport, VS arrived and departs from T5.
EI are handled by Swissport so does that mean they'll stay at T5 once Ireland gets updated preclearance?

Does AA no longer fly to MXP? What about Cayman Airways? And wasn't there a new Chinese carrier set to start ORD service?
Flying in the middle seat of coach is much better than not flying at all!

No AA no longer fly to MXP. It was served by AZ until 2008 when AP took it over then AZ took over AP a and now no MXP. Cayman Airways operated to Grand Cayman seasonally only - Winter. Hainan Airways was to start service to PEK but cancelled it as mentioned above.

Thanks for the update. Great info. However from 3 flights per week to 7 per week hardly qualifies as capacity reduction despite the smaller aircraft Plus, I can assure you, it will still be a mix of 330/340. TK does this all the time...

EI is no longer handled by Swissport, and if they were pre-cleared, they would only move to the other terminals if AA or UA handled them. The only change would be the passengers do not go down to CBP, just empty straight into the terminal - now that I think about it, they might have to make some accommodations because I don't think you can get your baggage without going through CBP.
