AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are linked by an elevated covered walkway (about a 15-minute walk) and a free shuttle bus that takes roughly 10 minutes including waiting. Passengers connecting between international and domestic flights must clear Brazilian immigration and customs, and security screening is repeated when moving between terminals since they operate as separate secure zones.
