AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are connected by a short shuttle bus ride or a longer walk along the perimeter road, as there is no covered walkway. Passengers connecting between international arrivals and domestic departures must exit and re-clear security and, in many cases, immigration, adding significant time versus a same-terminal connection.

Meets the domestic-domestic MCT exactly, so it's workable but tight if security lines are busy. See full 1 hr guide →
