AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminal A and Terminal B sit side by side and are linked by an enclosed walkway that takes about 10-15 minutes to traverse at a normal pace. There is no train or shuttle system since the airport is compact enough to cover on foot. Passengers arriving internationally must exit through immigration and customs in the arrivals hall, collect and recheck bags, then re-enter security screening before reaching either terminal's gates.
