AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
The domestic and international terminals sit adjacent to one another and are connected by a short outdoor/covered walkway, with no train or shuttle needed. Passengers arriving internationally and continuing to a domestic inter-island flight (or vice versa) must clear immigration/customs and re-check in, as the two terminals operate as fully separate facilities with their own security screening.
