AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
El Dorado operates as one main terminal with domestic and international piers connected by a long airside walking corridor; there is no train or shuttle required. International arrivals must pass through immigration and customs before reaching the domestic side, which functions as a full re-entry into the country rather than a simple walk-through, and there is no sterile international-to-international transit corridor for most passengers.
