AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The Airtrain shuttle connects the two terminals in about 5 minutes of travel time, while the free Skygate shuttle bus takes roughly 10-15 minutes including waiting. International arrivals must clear immigration, collect and recheck baggage, and pass through customs before reaching either terminal's security screening, adding significant time versus a same-terminal domestic-domestic transfer.
