AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 2A and 2B are physically adjacent and connected by an airside walkway, with most transfers done on foot in under 10 minutes. Some remote gate positions require a short apron shuttle bus, which can add 10-15 minutes especially in bad weather or during peak pushes.
