AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are housed within one terminal building, so passengers move between gates entirely on foot along a single concourse. There is no inter-terminal train or shuttle bus required. Passengers connecting from international to certain flights, or those requiring a visa/border check, may need to pass through a secondary security or passport screening point.
