AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building with a handful of gates, so 'transit' amounts to walking a short hallway from the single security checkpoint to the gate area. There is no shuttle, train, or interterminal bus because there is only one terminal, and no re-screening is ever required since passengers pass through one checkpoint for all flights.
