AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The Colonel H. Weir Cook Terminal has a single central hall with two concourses branching off it, so passengers simply walk between gates with no train or shuttle required. There is one central security checkpoint, and international arrivals (limited seasonal service) clear through a small federal inspection area before reaching the sterile side.
