AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
A dedicated shuttle bus links T1 and T2 airside/landside depending on passenger status, with the ride itself taking 8-10 minutes but total transfer time often stretching to 30+ minutes with waiting and walking. International arrivals connecting to a domestic flight must clear Immigration and Customs before re-entering security, while domestic-to-domestic transfers within the same terminal can sometimes avoid full re-screening if on the same boarding pass sequence, though this is inconsistent.
