Terminal B
Airline directory lists Aeromexico, Alaska Airlines, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines and Volaris. Ticket counters are on Level 2. After check-in, passengers take the Automated People Mover from Level 3 to Concourse B and the security checkpoint. Third-party sources also place Hawaiian and Horizon Air here, so check your airline's own itinerary.
Moving between terminals
The two terminals are separate buildings. The airport says walking takes about 10 minutes and is the fastest option, using sky bridges through the parking garage. Alternatively, the Daily Lot shuttle, which the airport says arrives about every 10 minutes, stops at the ground level of each terminal. Either way, you must go through TSA screening again at the other terminal to reach your gate, so allow extra time on a connection between airlines in different terminals.
