AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
The International and Domestic terminals are physically separate buildings linked by a shuttle bus service that runs at irregular intervals, with a walk of several minutes to reach the pickup points on each side. All passengers transferring between domestic and international flights must pass through security screening again, and international arrivals connecting onward must clear Algerian immigration and customs before rechecking bags for the next flight.
