AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The Doha People Mover (DPM), an automated train, links the B/C concourses with D/E and Concourse A, cutting what would otherwise be a very long walk. Most passengers pass through a single central security and passport control point after arrival, with no re-screening required for onward international flights on the same boarding pass system.
