AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
NAS operates out of a single terminal building split into a non-US international/domestic side and a separate US-bound concourse with its own preclearance facility. Passengers connecting from an international or Bahamian-domestic arrival to a US-bound departure must exit and re-enter through US Customs and Border Protection preclearance, including a full immigration and customs check plus TSA-style security screening, all on foot within the same building.
