AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are located within one linear terminal building along Concourses A through D, reached on foot from a single central security checkpoint. There is no train or shuttle system needed, and passengers connecting between domestic flights do not need to clear security again since all concourses sit past the same checkpoint.
