AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Most connections happen within the vast Terminal 3A, which uses long moving walkways to link concourses and gates. Passengers connecting via the older Terminal 2 must use an inter-terminal shuttle bus, adding significant time; all international arrivals must clear immigration and collect bags before rechecking in for any onward flight, domestic or international.
