AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
SDQ has one terminal building with gates arranged along two connected concourses, so all movement is on foot with no trains or shuttles required. The critical step isn't distance but process: international arrivals collect bags, clear customs, and exit into the public hall, meaning connecting passengers must re-check in and pass security and immigration/exit checks again rather than staying airside.
