Luis Munoz Marin International Airport Terminal B Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal B at SJU is a compact, straight-through landside hall with a high-friction front vestibule and a central security “pinch point,” then a longer airside spine that fans west toward Terminal A and east toward Terminal D. Within Puerto Rico’s primary San Juan airport hub, the key orientation is simple: USDA sits immediately inside the departures doors, TSA is centered behind the counters, and the first post-security junction is the duty-free atrium where you choose A (left/west) or B/C/D (right/east).

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport Terminal B Map Strategy
- Do the sequence in order: USDA X-ray first, then verify the inspection sticker on the bag handle, then bag drop, then TSA—skipping USDA or missing the sticker triggers a hard backtrack.
- Treat the connector choice as a post-security decision: regroup at the Dufry duty-free atrium, then go left/west for Terminal A and straight/right/east for B/C/D; don’t exit to landside to “find” another terminal unless you’re intentionally re-clearing TSA.
- Use decision-point landmarks, not vibes: USDA is immediately inside the departures doors; TSA is centered behind the counter banks; the Terminal A connector starts from the post-security atrium side, not from the check-in hall.
- Reduce reliance risk for special cases: for heavy bags or tight timing, grab a curbside maletero near the main doors of the big carriers; for wheelchair assistance, plan the request through the airline counter process so the USDA-to-counter gap doesn’t stall you.

Terminal B’s 2026 layout still hinges on the same “double-queue” workflow: USDA inspection happens before airline bag drop, and the centralized TSA checkpoint feeds the shared airside concourses. The sterile corridor to Terminal A remains the cleanest terminal-to-terminal move, while the long walk to Terminal D still requires extra buffer—especially when moving walkways are down.

What is the exact walking distance (in feet/meters) from the Terminal B departures entrance to the start of the USDA inspection queue?
The walking distance is under 20 feet (about 6 meters) from the Terminal B departures sliding doors to the start of the USDA inspection queue. The stanchions begin almost immediately inside the vestibule, with the USDA scanners set perpendicular to your entry path.
At peak times, the line often can’t fit in the shallow vestibule, so the “start of the queue” may effectively be at the threshold of the doors or even outside on the curbside sidewalk. If you can see airline counters straight ahead beyond the scanners, you’re still in the right place—don’t bypass the first stanchion opening or you risk having to backtrack later.
Where is the USDA “inspection sticker” point located relative to Terminal B (landmark + corridor) so a traveler can confirm they’re in the correct line?
The USDA inspection sticker point is at the exit end of the USDA X-ray machine, right where bags come off the conveyor after the scan. An APHIS officer stationed at the belt’s output applies the color-coded sticker to the suitcase handle as you retrieve your bag.
The correct line is the one that feeds directly into the USDA X-ray intake inside the Terminal B departures vestibule, immediately after the sliding entrance doors. Stay with your bag to the conveyor tail and visually confirm the sticker is on the handle before you walk toward the airline counter islands in the main check-in hall—leaving that zone without the sticker is what triggers the forced backtrack.
Is there an airside corridor that connects Terminal B to Terminal A after security—and if so, where exactly does it begin (nearest landmark)?
An airside corridor does connect Terminal B to Terminal A without re-clearing security, and it begins from the post-security duty-free atrium area at Terminal B. The entry point is reached by turning left (west) from the Dufry duty-free regroup zone immediately after you exit TSA.
From the checkpoint exit, move into the open atrium space by the Dufry storefront, then follow signs for “Terminal A / Gates A1–A8” as the path peels away from the main B/C/D flow. The commitment point is where the concourse spine stops feeling like the central junction and becomes a long, dedicated connector corridor leading toward Terminal A.
What is the exact walking distance from the Terminal B TSA exit to the Terminal A connector hallway entrance (the point where you commit to A)?
The walking distance is about 200 feet (roughly 60 meters) from the Terminal B TSA exit to the Terminal A connector hallway entrance. The commit point is reached by turning left (west) from the Dufry duty-free atrium immediately after the checkpoint exit.
The path starts at the TSA exit lanes, runs through the post-screening decompression space, then skirts the duty-free frontage until the “Terminal A / Gates A1–A8” route breaks off into a dedicated corridor. If you’re still drifting straight/right with the main flow toward B/C/D gate corridors, you’ve missed the A peel-off and haven’t committed to the connector yet.
Where is the first obvious post-security “regroup point” nearest Terminal B (e.g., by duty-free/central junction) that a group can find without leaving the sterile area?
The first obvious post-security regroup point is the open Dufry duty-free atrium immediately outside the Terminal B TSA exit. The checkpoint exit doors funnel you straight into this retail atrium, making it the most consistent “everyone can find it” node without leaving the sterile area.
Use the space by the duty-free storefront windows as the meet-up spot, not the middle of the exit lane. This atrium is also the main decision fork: left/west peels toward the Terminal A connector, while straight/right feeds the B/C/D spine. If your group can see the duty-free entrance and the split in foot traffic, you’re in the correct regroup zone.
What is the exact walking distance from the Terminal B post-security junction to the entrance of the Terminal D concourse?
The walking distance is about 800 to 1,200 feet (roughly 240 to 365 meters) from the Terminal B post-security junction to the entrance of the Terminal D concourse. The route begins at the Dufry duty-free atrium immediately after TSA and runs east along the main airside corridor.
From the atrium, turn right/east and stay on the main spine as you pass the Concourse B entrance (Gates B2–B11), then the Concourse C entrance (Gates C2–C9), continuing until the corridor feeds into the older Terminal D area. The walk feels longer as shops thin out and the infrastructure looks more dated—the “hinterland” shift is your confirmation you’re approaching D.
Where is the most common “maletero/porter” pickup zone at Terminal B (which curbside side / door area) based on the terminal layout?
The most common maletero/porter pickup zone is along the Terminal B departures curb on Level 2, clustered near the main entrance doors by the major carrier areas. Porters typically patrol and congregate on the sidewalk right outside the sliding doors used by big airlines’ check-in banks.
There isn’t a single centralized booth, so the practical “pickup zone” is the curbside sidewalk directly in front of Terminal B’s departures entrances—especially near the door areas aligned with American, Delta, and United counter sections inside. If you step out at departures and you’re facing the main doors with frequent luggage unloading, that’s the highest-probability spot to flag a porter immediately on arrival.
What is the exact walking distance from the Terminal B curbside drop-off point to the primary airline bag-drop counters in Terminal B?
The walking distance is about 50 to 100 feet (roughly 15 to 30 meters) from the Terminal B curbside drop-off to the primary airline bag-drop counters. The counters sit just beyond the USDA vestibule in the open check-in hall, arranged in linear islands parallel to the curb.
This distance assumes a straight-line path: curbside sidewalk → sliding entrance doors → immediate USDA queue/scan zone → then forward into the counter islands. The physical walk is short, but the effective time can spike because the USDA queue often starts right inside the doors and can spill back onto the sidewalk during peak departure banks.
Where is the wheelchair assistance queue/meeting point located on the Terminal B departures level relative to the main doors and counters?
The wheelchair assistance “queue” is at the airline check-in counter area, not at a dedicated wheelchair desk on the departures level. Assistance is initiated through your specific airline’s counter line or its special assistance/priority lane inside the Terminal B check-in hall.
Relative to the main doors, you enter through the departures sliding doors, pass the USDA inspection zone, and then head into the counter islands where each airline’s staffed positions are. The main bottleneck is that there’s no obvious curbside dispatch point before USDA; if a traveler can’t traverse from curb → USDA → counters, the workable workaround is having a companion request help at the counter or using a maletero/porter to bridge that gap to the airline’s dispatch process.
What is the exact walking distance from Terminal B baggage claim exit to the rideshare pickup location?
The walking distance is about 50 to 150 feet (roughly 15 to 46 meters) from the Terminal B baggage claim exit to the rideshare pickup area. The pickup is on the ground/arrivals level curb immediately outside the one-way exit doors from the baggage claim hall.
After you pass through the exit doors into the public arrivals curb area, walk straight to the curb and locate the posted “Rideshare / Uber-Lyft” or “Transporte Alterno” zone markers. The main failure mode isn’t distance—it’s standing at the wrong curb zone for the app geofence—so align yourself with the numbered/lettered curb marker before you confirm pickup in the rideshare app.
What is the exact walking distance from Terminal B baggage claim exit to the taxi booth/stand location?
The walking distance is about 30 feet (roughly 9 meters) from the Terminal B baggage claim exit to the taxi booth/stand. The taxi queue is positioned directly at the arrivals-level curb immediately outside the one-way exit doors.
Look for the staffed dispatcher podium (“Taxis Turísticos”) right at the curb line in front of the Terminal B exits. This is the closest-to-door ground transport option at SJU, and the workflow is typically: exit doors → dispatcher podium → assigned vehicle in the first queue lane. If you’re still walking down the curb looking for signage, you’ve likely walked past the nearest stand.
Which specific TSA checkpoint entrance serves Terminal B gates most directly, and where is it positioned relative to USDA and the main counters?
The centralized TSA Checkpoint B serves Terminal B gates most directly, and it sits in the middle of the departures-level hall behind the airline counter islands. It’s the main filtration point for the B/C/D concourses and also feeds the airside path toward Terminal A.
Relative positioning is consistent: USDA is immediately inside the departures sliding doors in the shallow vestibule; the airline bag-drop/check-in counters are just beyond USDA in parallel counter islands; and the TSA checkpoint is centered past those counters, visually identifiable by glass partitions and the main queue lanes. If you’re standing in the check-in hall and see the checkpoint aligned with the central entrance-door axis, you’re at the correct TSA entrance for Terminal B.
