Follow th elink that Joel sent you; it will explain the sequence. Basically you follow the purple signs to "flight connections" until you see a choice point for staying in T5 or going to another terminal. Then follow the signs indicating to T1 and they will lead you to a bus which will take you directly to T1. We did this, but connectiong to T3. From the time we stepped off the plane to we were in T3, through security and waiting in the departure area for our gate to be posted was 30 minutes. T1 may be a bit longer, as it is a bit farther (slightly longer bus ride.) This is assuming you either have hand baggage only, or your bags are checked through. If you need to pick up and re-check your bags, there is a different and much longer route to follow.
