AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals A and B are joined by a post-security airside walkway, so most passengers can move between concourses without leaving the secure area or re-clearing screening. International arrivals from a handful of Mexico flights go through Federal Inspection and re-enter the secure zone, which adds time compared to a domestic-to-domestic connection.
