AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All concourses connect through the central Rotunda via covered walkways, with no trains or shuttles needed anywhere in the terminal. International arrivals deplane at Concourse D and pass through Federal Inspection Services (CBP) before re-entering the sterile area to connect onward; connecting passengers arriving internationally do not need to re-clear security if continuing to a domestic flight after CBP.
