AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
BDL operates out of a single terminal with two connected concourses, so all passenger movement is on foot via level corridors and moving walkways. There is no shuttle, train, or bus required between gates, and security re-screening is only needed if you exit the sterile area or arrive on an international flight requiring a formal customs/immigration recheck.
