AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
There is no train or shuttle needed — YWG is a single-level terminal where all gates are reachable on foot within a few minutes. Passengers connecting onto US-bound flights must clear US CBP preclearance inside the terminal before reaching transborder gates, which adds a security-style re-screening step not required for domestic-to-domestic or domestic-to-international connections.
