Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal 2 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal 2 at the Fort Lauderdale hub is a compact, semi-autonomous “island” built around one secure checkpoint feeding a single linear pier, Concourse D (Gates D1–D9). The public lobby (ticketing upstairs, baggage claim downstairs) sits at the pier’s base, with the concourse stretching out as a dead-end spine. Terminal 1 sits to the east, Terminal 3 to the west, but Terminal 2 does not connect airside to either.

| Concourse D | D1–D9 | Delta Air Lines | no airside links to T1/T3/T4 |
| Main Atrium “throat” | near D1–D3 | Delta services | TSA exit to landside lobby |
| Distal pier bulb | near D8–D9 | Delta gates | widest holdroom zone |
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Terminal 2 Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 2 as a one-terminal commitment after TSA; if you need Terminal 1/3/4 (lounges, food, meetups), do it before screening or budget a full exit + re-screen cycle.
- Use the correct Arrivals-level door based on your target: Door 203/204 for the short walk west toward Terminal 3; Door 201 to go east toward Terminal 1 and the rental car skywalk path.
- Favor the Lower Level sidewalk for inter-terminal walking; it’s the shortest, most sheltered option and reduces heat exposure versus the departures curb.
- Use the Palm Garage as the covered “spine” when heading toward Terminal 4; the Level 4 bridges create the most comfortable, traffic-free walk compared with curbside sidewalks.

Terminal 2 remains a standalone post-security environment in 2026, so “quick” cross-terminal plans still translate into an exit to landside and a full TSA re-screen at the other terminal. The interior flow is unchanged: one checkpoint, one Concourse D spine, with the main atrium amenities concentrated near the early D-gates and the largest gate holdroom footprint at the far end near D8–D9.

What exact door/exit in Terminal 2 (post-security) do you use to leave the secure area when attempting to walk to Terminal 3?
The only way out of Terminal 2 post-security is the one-way exit by the TSA checkpoint, which drops you into the Level 2 ticketing lobby. From there, the practical “to Terminal 3” exit is on Level 1 at Door 203 or Door 204 (the westernmost arrivals doors).
After you pass through the glass one-way partition near the checkpoint, go to the escalators/elevators in the lobby and descend to baggage claim. On Level 1, orient west (toward Terminal 3) and use Door 203/204 to hit the sidewalk immediately facing the short inter-terminal walk.
What is the shortest landside walking route from Terminal 2 to the Terminal 3 TSA entrance, and what’s the exact walking distance?
Re-screening at TSA is required because Terminal 2 has no airside connection to Terminal 3, and another terminal’s checkpoint may refuse entry if your boarding pass/airline doesn’t align. The shortest walk is on the Lower Level (Arrivals) sidewalk from Terminal 2 Door 203/204 to Terminal 3’s east-side entrance area. The walk distance is about 200 feet.
| Segment | Exact move | Landmark triangulation | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start | Go to Level 1 (baggage claim) | from the Level 2 TSA exit into the ticketing lobby | — | 2–4 min vertical movement |
| Exit | Leave Terminal 2 via Door 203 or 204 | westernmost arrivals doors | — | <1 min |
| Walk | Turn right (west) and follow the continuous sidewalk | passes the GTA-2 rideshare zone in the “gap” between T2 and T3 | ~200 ft (≈60 m) | ~1 min walking |
| Finish | Enter Terminal 3 at the east-side doors and proceed to the TSA queue | Terminal 3 check-in/TSA area | — | 1–3 min in-building wayfinding |
What is the Delta Sky Club entrance in Terminal 2 (which level, and between which gate numbers/landmarks)?
The Delta Sky Club entrance is airside (post-security) on the main concourse level in the Main Atrium, located between Gates D2 and D3. The club itself sits upstairs on a mezzanine, but the entry point you look for is the branded doorway/signage in the atrium zone between those two gates.
After clearing TSA, stay in the widened “hub” area before the corridor narrows down the pier. Walk toward the gate numbering for D2/D3 and look along the wall segment separating those gate areas for “Delta Sky Club” signage and the frosted-glass/Delta-blue entrance portal.
Where is the main post-security food/concessions cluster in Terminal 2 (relative to gates D1–D9), and which gate is farthest from it?
The main post-security food and concessions cluster sits in the Main Atrium immediately after the TSA checkpoint, closest to Gates D1 and D2. Gate D9 is farthest from that atrium cluster at the end of the Concourse D pier.
After you clear TSA, the concourse opens into the widest “hub” area before narrowing into the long gate spine toward D3–D9. That hub zone (by the D1/D2 end) is where the highest density of dining/retail is concentrated. Walking away from the atrium toward the dead-end pier steadily reduces options until the far end; the terminal’s longest walk is from the atrium cluster near D1/D2 out to the D9 end-cap.
What is the exact path through the parking garage to walk from Terminal 2 to Terminal 4 (which garage entry point from T2, and which exit point at T4)?
Walking to Terminal 4 via the Palm Garage works best as a covered Level 4 bridge route, but you still must re-screen at TSA when you enter Terminal 4’s secure area. Enter the Palm Garage from Terminal 2 on Level 2 (Departures) using the pedestrian bridge/crosswalk into the garage, then go up to Garage Level 4 and follow the continuous garage spine to the Terminal 4 bridge.
From Terminal 2 ticketing on Level 2, head toward the garage-facing side and use the signed pedestrian connection into Palm Garage. Once inside the garage, take the nearest elevator bank to Level 4. Walk along Level 4 past the Terminal 3 bridge area, continuing toward the Terminal 4 sector (often marked with Terminal 4/Green/section signage). Exit via the Palm Garage Level 4 pedestrian bridge into Terminal 4’s main terminal interior (ticketing/security lobby area).
From Terminal 2 baggage claim, which specific exit door leads to the fastest route toward the Terminal 1 interior shortcut used to reach the rental car skywalk?
Door 201 on the Arrivals level is the fastest Terminal 2 baggage-claim exit for walking east toward Terminal 1 to reach the rental car skywalk. Terminal 2 has no direct skywalk to the Rental Car Center, so the “skywalk route” requires entering Terminal 1 and going up to Level 2.
From Terminal 2 baggage claim (Level 1), orient east (toward Terminal 1) and exit through Door 201 (the easternmost T2 arrivals door). After you step outside, turn left (east) on the sidewalk to Terminal 1, enter Terminal 1 on arrivals, then take the escalators/elevators up to Level 2 and follow signs for the pedestrian bridge/skywalk to the Rental Car Center near the Concourse B security area.
Where are the Delta check-in vs bag-drop lines laid out in Terminal 2 (which curbside entry doors feed into each queue)?
Delta’s check-in and bag-drop flow in Terminal 2 is split by lobby position: Sky Priority is typically anchored at the east end of the Level 2 ticketing lobby, while the main bag drop and general check-in queues run centrally through the counter bank. The curbside doors closest to the east end feed Sky Priority first; the more central/west doors feed the general bag drop and main cabin lines.
Inside the Level 2 lobby, the counter line runs along the curb-facing side, with self-tag kiosks in the open floor area before the stanchions. Entering from the east-side curb doors puts you closest to the premium/priority end of the counters; entering from the central doors drops you into the densest kiosk + bag-drop staging area. Use the overhead monitors above the stanchions to confirm “Bag Drop” vs “Full Service,” then commit to the correct lane before you join the queue.
Where is the designated public waiting area between security exit and baggage claim in Terminal 2 (nearest landmark/door)?
The practical public waiting area is the landside ticketing lobby on Level 2 right outside the one-way TSA exit, plus the baggage claim hall on Level 1 for closer proximity to arrivals. In Terminal 2, the most reliable “meet here” landmark is the open Level 2 lobby immediately after the security exit partition; for Level 1, meet along the baggage claim perimeter near the central exit doors (Doors 202/203 area).
After the arriving passenger exits the secure area, they cannot go back airside and they’ll spill into the ticketing lobby where the escalators/elevators connect down to baggage claim. For pickups, using the baggage claim hall reduces timing misses: the arriving passenger can come down the escalators and stand along the outer wall/bench line near the central door bank, then walk out together via the chosen door (Door 201 for Terminal 1 direction; Door 203/204 for Terminal 3 direction).
Where are the largest seating banks in Terminal 2 beyond security (identify the nearest gate numbers/landmarks)?
The largest seating banks are at the widened end-cap of Concourse D near Gates D8 and D9. A secondary high-capacity seating zone is in the post-security Main Atrium, using mezzanine-style high-tops and workstation seating near the D1–D3 “throat” area.
The D8/D9 area is the best bet when the atrium is overcrowded because the concourse footprint physically widens to serve the end gates, creating the most continuous holdroom seating in Terminal 2. If you want power + a quieter dwell spot before committing to the gate pens, stay in the atrium right after TSA and look for the elevated/mezzanine seating cluster above the main floor traffic stream near the D2/D3 side.
Where is the rideshare pickup for Terminal 2 relative to baggage claim exits (exact door/zone)?
Rideshare pickup for Terminal 2 is not at the Terminal 2 arrivals curb; it’s in GTA-2 on the Lower Level in the median/island area between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. From Terminal 2 baggage claim, the reliable move is to exit and then head east toward Terminal 1 to reach the signed rideshare island, where you’ll see zone markers (often labeled as Zone F/GTA-2).
After you exit baggage claim, follow “Ride App / Ride Share” signs and walk toward the space between the terminals. You’ll cross the inner roadway to the central island rather than waiting along the Terminal 2 curb. If you’re choosing a specific door, using the east-side exits (Door 201/202 direction) shortens the walk to the GTA-2 median and reduces the chance your driver can’t match you due to geofencing.
