AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
JAX has a single terminal building with two concourses, A and C, connected by a central atrium and corridor that passengers walk through directly. There is no train or shuttle needed anywhere in the airport, and security is a single central checkpoint serving both concourses, so domestic-to-domestic connections typically don't require re-screening.
