Related Construction Advisory
Beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, October 8, the pickup location for airport shuttle buses to rental cars and economy parking will relocate to Door 4 on the Terminal B/C Ticketing (upper) Level. A separate advisory will be issued and posted online.
Timing
All changes are effective Monday, October 8.
The lane closures will be in effect 24/7, in segments, for several weeks.
When Project Journey is completed in 2021, two new 50,000-square-foot buildings with security checkpoints will replace three smaller checkpoints currently serving Terminal B/C – increasing the post-security space to include all of National Hall and its premier shops and restaurants for ticketed travelers. In addition, a new 14-gate concourse will replace Gate 35X – ending the need for travelers to ride buses to board regional jets parked outside. Concourse amenities will include jetbridges, holdrooms, concessions and an American Airlines Admirals Club lounge.
