AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are within a single terminal building connected by walking concourses radiating from a central hall, so no train or shuttle is needed. Transfer passengers arriving from international flights typically pass through a transit security screening point before reaching departure gates, which can add time during peak banks.
