AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is only one small terminal building with international arrivals, domestic arrivals, and departures separated by little more than a few counters and a single hallway. All passengers, regardless of connection type, pass through a shared security and immigration area, so re-screening is really just a re-check of boarding passes and hand luggage at one checkpoint.
