"Identified as the longest airport walk in the U.S., with a 1.50-mile trek from the main entrance to the farthest gate. The facility covers nearly 30 square miles and has 171 gates spread across five terminals, so its multiple concourses and sprawling layout mean significantly more walking—or wheeling—before departures or connections. Travelers facing tight connections should plan ahead and consider booking accessibility services or escorts in advance to avoid last-minute stress." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
