AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The domestic and international sections sit within the same small terminal building, linked by a short indoor walkway of only a couple of minutes. International arriving passengers must clear immigration and customs before reaching the domestic side, and departing international passengers pass through a separate security and passport control point, which adds the bulk of any connection time rather than the walk itself.
