Getting between them: Walking along the connecting pathway between the international and domestic terminals

International-to-international transfer passengers are escorted by airline staff from the arrival area (Level 2) along the transit route, go through transfer security and continue to the departure lounge on Level 3. Domestic and international terminals are joined by a connecting pathway.

If you connect from an international to a domestic flight, you go through immigration (entry stamp), then customs and security before the domestic departure lounge.

  • On an international-to-international connection on one ticket, your bags are loaded onto the onward flight; follow the airline staff to the transit route.
