AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Within Terminal 1, the Wing Shuttle (an automated people mover) links the main building to the North and South Wing satellite piers in under 5 minutes, plus walking to and from platforms. Terminal 2 is connected to Terminal 1 only by a free shuttle bus (about 15-20 minutes including waiting), and since it is landside-only, passengers must clear security again and international travelers must also pass immigration.
