AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The domestic and international terminals sit side by side but are not linked by an airside corridor, so passengers usually exit and re-enter through separate entrances, sometimes via a short shuttle or apron bus for connecting crews and passengers. All transfers require a fresh security screening, and international-to-domestic or domestic-to-international connections also require immigration/customs processing since there is no sterile transit zone.
