AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 1, 2, and 3 sit several kilometers apart on the airport property and are not linked by any airside walkway or people mover, so transferring passengers must exit, find a taxi or the infrequent shuttle bus, and re-enter through landside processing at the next terminal. Because Cuba has no dedicated international-to-international transit corridor, even passengers staying within Terminal 3 must pass through immigration and customs before rechecking in for their next flight.
