AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All concourses connect via a single central terminal core reached entirely on foot — there are no trains or shuttles between gates. Passengers arriving internationally deplane at Concourse E-ish federal inspection facilities and must clear US Customs and Border Protection, then re-enter the sterile area through security before reaching connecting gates.
