AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
There is no airside walkway between the international and domestic terminals — passengers must clear arrival formalities, exit landside, and take a taxi or the informal shuttle/bus service across the airport road to the other terminal. This transfer can take 15-20 minutes in light traffic but often stretches to 30-40 minutes during Lagos's notorious congestion. All connecting passengers undergo full security re-screening plus immigration/customs formalities when transferring between the international and domestic sides.
