Luis Munoz Marin International Airport Terminal C Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal C at SJU is an airside-only concourse: a long gate spine (C2–C10) fed by a single connector corridor from the central post-security hub, plus a quiet C–D linking hallway beyond the last gates. All landside processing (USDA bag X-ray, kiosks, bag drop, TSA) happens in Terminal B’s departures hall within Puerto Rico’s main airport hub, which is why “Terminal C” feels like a destination rather than a starting point.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal B Departures (USDA + check-in) | Doors #1–#2, upper level | curb → USDA 10–15 ft |
| Checkpoint B (B/C shared security) | rear wall, center of Terminal B | counters → queue 200–300 ft |
| Post-security hub (duty-free exit) | “Y” junction, B vs C split | security exit → split ~300 ft |
| Concourse C gate spine (C2–C10) | left turn at “Y” junction | split → C2 2–3 min; split → C10 7–10 min |
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport Terminal C Map Strategy
- Treat “Gate C” as an airside label: target Terminal B Departures (upper level), not a separate Terminal C curb, so you don’t burn time in a landside dead zone.
- Lock the sequence curb/door → USDA sticker → kiosks → bag drop → B/C security: missing the USDA step triggers a forced backtrack that can cost an entire queue cycle.
- Use Door #2 as your default entry point for C-side airlines, then aim for the center-rear Checkpoint B signage for Concourses B/C/D to avoid lateral zig-zags across the hall.
- If the USDA line is spilling outside, scan the opposite-door USDA bank (stickers are universal), or use a maletero immediately at the curb to reduce USDA + bag-drop stacking pressure.

Terminal C remains the C-gates concourse only, with the real departure choke point still concentrated in Terminal B (USDA screening → kiosks → bag drop → shared B/C security). For a clean 2026 printout, mark four waypoints on the PDF before you arrive: Terminal B Door #2, the USDA scanner bank just inside the doors, the center-rear Checkpoint B entrance, and the left-turn “Concourse C” split after duty-free.

What is the exact physical location of the USDA baggage X-ray/scanner entry used by Terminal C passengers (relative to the main Terminal C entrance doors)?
Terminal C passengers must use the USDA baggage X-ray scanners just inside the Terminal B departures sliding doors, not at any Terminal C landside entrance. The scanner entry sits within about 10–15 feet of crossing into the Terminal B check-in lobby from Doors #1 or #2 on the upper (Departures) level.
Inside Terminal B, the USDA machines function like an “airlock” between curbside and the ticketing hall: you’ll see large industrial X-ray units immediately in front of you before the airline counter islands. If one door’s line is backed up onto the sidewalk, the other Terminal B door typically feeds a parallel USDA scanner bank, and either sticker works for any airline counter afterward.
What is the shortest indoor route from the Terminal C curbside door to the USDA scanners that avoids crossing into other terminal zones?
There is no reliable “Terminal C” landside curbside door route to USDA because Terminal C is airside-only for departures. The shortest indoor path that avoids other zones starts at Terminal B Departures, Door #2, where the USDA scanner bank is immediately inside the sliding glass doors.
From the upper-level roadway, enter Terminal B at Door #2 and step into the lobby; the USDA X-ray machines are directly ahead within 10–15 feet. If Door #2 is jammed, enter at Door #1 instead, clear USDA there, then walk laterally inside the same Terminal B hall to your airline kiosks and counters—staying entirely within the departures lobby without detouring toward arrivals elevators or dormant terminal corridors.
What is the walking distance (feet/meters) from the USDA scanner exit point to the nearest Terminal C bag-tag kiosk bank?
The walking distance is typically under 20 feet (about 6 meters) from the USDA belt exit to the nearest bag-tag kiosk bank in Terminal B. The exit of the USDA scanner area drops you directly into the kiosk-and-counter zone in front of the airline check-in islands.
In practice, the distance feels even shorter because the USDA outflow and kiosk queues often overlap: passengers collecting bags from the belt step forward into the first row of kiosks, especially near the central/east side of the hall where United and Spirit branding is visible on the back wall. If you want to avoid getting trapped in the “crowd crush,” identify an open kiosk while your bag is still coming off the USDA belt and move straight to that unit instead of drifting into the nearest line mass.
Where are the nearest bag-tag kiosks for Terminal C, and what is the closest landmark you should see when you’re standing in front of them?
The nearest bag-tag kiosks for Terminal C flights are the self-service kiosk banks in Terminal B’s departures check-in hall, positioned directly in front of the airline counter islands you’ll use for Concourse C departures. The closest landmark in front of the kiosks is the large airline branding on the back wall (for example, big “United” or “Southwest” signage) aligned behind the staffed counters.
These kiosks sit immediately past the USDA screening zone, so when you step away from the USDA belt area you’ll be facing into the kiosk banks and the check-in islands. If you’re flying United or Spirit (common C-gates carriers), the nearest kiosks tend to be on the east/right side of the hall; if you’re Southwest, the nearest kiosks skew west/left near the A/B connector corridor.
Where is the B/C shared security checkpoint entrance (exact position), and which Terminal C-side approach path minimizes backtracking?
The B/C shared security checkpoint entrance is Checkpoint B on the rear wall at the center of the Terminal B departures hall, serving Concourses B, C, and D. It sits directly opposite the main sliding entrance doors, but it’s often hidden until you clear the check-in islands and see the overhead “Concourses B, C, D / All Gates” signage.
The lowest-backtracking Terminal C-side approach starts from Terminal B Door #2, clears USDA, then angles straight toward the center-rear of the hall rather than drifting deep to the far east counters. From the United/Spirit side, the efficient move is a direct diagonal across the open floor toward the central roped queue mouth, aiming for the big overhead gate sign instead of following counter lines all the way down and then doubling back.
Where is the most likely curbside “maletero/porter” staging spot for Terminal C (exact curb segment/door), based on the terminal layout?
The most likely maletero/porter staging is along the Terminal B departures upper-level curb at the main entrances—especially clustered near Door #2 where C-side airlines and the shortest USDA-to-check-in flow concentrate. You’re looking for uniformed handlers with large luggage carts positioned just outside the sliding doors and near the bag-drop podium areas.
Operationally, this is where porters can pivot fastest between the curb, the USDA scanner bank immediately inside, and the airline counter islands. If the USDA line is spilling onto the sidewalk, the highest-density porter presence tends to be right at the curb break in front of the busiest doors (Door #1 and Door #2), with Door #2 being the best “Terminal C passenger” default because it reduces lateral walking inside before you line up for security.
Where is the wheelchair assistance staging / pickup point closest to Terminal C check-in, and what is the shortest path from there to the B/C security entrance?
The closest wheelchair assistance staging to “Terminal C” processing is at your airline’s check-in counter in the Terminal B departures hall, since Concourse C has no landside check-in area. The shortest path from that counter zone to the B/C security entrance is a straight, direct line across the lobby floor to the center-rear Checkpoint B queue mouth under the “Concourses B, C, D / All Gates” signage.
Most assistance requests are handled at the airline’s Special Assistance/Priority position on the counter island, with attendants staging nearby (often behind the counter islands or at the ends of the counter banks). From the east side (United/Spirit area), go diagonally left toward the central security funnel; from the west side (Southwest area), go diagonally right—either way, avoid threading through kiosk queues and aim for open floor leading to the roped maze entrance.
What is the walking distance from the B/C security exit (airside) to Gate C2?
Walking is about 500–600 feet (roughly 150–180 meters) from the B/C security exit to Gate C2. At a normal pace, that’s typically 3–4 minutes because you must traverse the post-screening recomposure area and the duty-free walk-through before reaching the “Y” junction.
After the duty-free exit, turn left at the split marked for Concourse C and continue down the connector corridor toward the first C-gates cluster. Gate C2 is the first gate you encounter on the C spine, near the high-traffic entrance area where restrooms and early concourse amenities tend to concentrate.
What is the walking distance from the B/C security exit (airside) to Gate C10?
Walking is about 1,200–1,500 feet (roughly 365–460 meters) from the B/C security exit to Gate C10. Typical walking time is 8–12 minutes depending on duty-free congestion, moving-walkway use, and slower traffic in the connector corridor.
From the security exit, move through the duty-free walk-through, then at the “Y” junction turn left for Concourse C. Continue down the connector corridor into the C gate spine and keep going past the early gates (C2/C4 area) until you reach the far end where Gate C10 anchors the quietest end of the concourse near the onward connector toward Terminal D.
Where is the closest restroom to the airside entry point you reach after clearing the B/C checkpoint, on the route toward the C gates?
The closest restroom is the first restroom block near the entrance of Concourse C, positioned shortly after you exit duty-free, turn left at the “Y” junction, and approach the early C-gates area near Gate C2. It’s the high-traffic restroom set that most people hit immediately after the long security-to-concourse walk.
Use the duty-free exit as your triangulation point: once you emerge into the main connector, take the left turn for Concourse C and stay on the main corridor until you see the first gates cluster forming; the restroom block sits adjacent to that entrance-zone flow. If that restroom is packed, the next less-crowded option is further down the spine near the mid-concourse gates (around the C7/C8 area).
Where is the closest water bottle refill station (or fountain) to the center of the Terminal C gate corridor, and how far is it from the nearest main seating cluster?
The closest dependable refill point is the hydration unit integrated into the restroom-block fountains, with the primary station near the early Concourse C entrance by Gate C2. From the nearest big seating cluster in that entrance-zone gate area, it’s typically a short walk—about 50–150 feet (15–45 meters), depending on exactly where you’re seated along the first gate pods.
Because that C2-area station can be crowded or occasionally out of service, the most reliable practical backup in the middle of the C corridor is Starbucks in the central retail zone: it’s a consistent place to request a cup of iced water when the bottle filler is low-pressure or flagged. Use the restroom entrances as your visual anchor—refill units sit on the exterior wall beside the bathroom doors, attached to the standard drinking fountains.
Where exactly is the C–D connecting hallway people use for overnight waiting, and which wall/side contains the raised ledge/bench-like seating mentioned by travelers?
The overnight waiting hallway is the airside connector beyond the end of Concourse C, reached by walking past the last C gates toward the signage for Terminal D from the far end near Gate C10. This corridor is a quieter transitional passage with very low nighttime traffic compared with the main C gate seating zones.
The raised ledge runs along the window-side wall of the C–D connector, forming a continuous flat surface that travelers use as a bench-like sleeping spot. Use Gate C10 as your waypoint: once you pass it and continue toward “Terminal D,” look to the long outer wall line (the side that feels like the exterior edge of the building) rather than the interior corridor wall near doorways and service zones.
Where are the nearest power outlets in the C–D connector corridor (exact segment), relative to the nearest doorway or corridor junction?
Power in the C–D connector is most commonly found at maintenance-style wall outlets on columns and wall segments near corridor junctions rather than evenly spaced passenger charging points. The nearest outlets are typically along the connector walls just past the Concourse C end of the hallway, close to the first doorway/service access points and structural columns after you leave the C10 area.
Use the C10-to-Terminal D transition as your anchor: once you pass the last C gates and enter the quieter connector, scan the wall bases and column faces near the first corridor break/doorway clusters for standard electrical plates. If you plan to sleep on the window-side ledge, the practical pattern is to charge at the main Concourse C seating “power tower” areas first, then move into the connector once devices are topped off.
What is the exact location of The Lounge San Juan / Terminal C lounge (entry point + nearest gate/landmark), and what is the shortest walking route from the main C gate spine to its door?
The Lounge San Juan (Terminal C) is accessed from an elevator lobby on the left side near the entrance of Concourse C, before you walk deep toward the mid-to-far C gates. The nearest landmark is the Concourse C approach corridor from the post-security “Y” junction, with the lounge signage marking an elevator area rather than a wide, obvious doorway.
From the main C gate spine, walk back toward the start of Concourse C in the direction of Gate C2 and the connector corridor; before you reach the first gate cluster, look to the left wall for “The Lounge” signage at an elevator lobby. Enter there and take the elevator up to the lounge level (commonly signed as an upper/3rd-floor access). The key navigational rule is not to hunt for it near gates like C8/C10—if you pass deep into the pier, you’ve gone too far.
