AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The two terminals are physically separate structures joined by an outdoor covered walkway of roughly 400-500 meters; an occasional shuttle bus runs during peak periods but most passengers walk. International arrivals must clear immigration and customs before any onward connection, and there is no sterile transit corridor, so passengers exiting international arrivals to catch a domestic flight must recheck in and pass security again.
