Luis Munoz Marin International Airport Terminal D Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Terminal D at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is the far-end “spur” off the airport’s main airside spine, reached by walking through the busier B/C concourses into a quieter, corridor-heavy connector. The secure-area path stays on the upper level and ends at a small, low-amenity gate cluster. Within Puerto Rico’s main San Juan airport hub, the key is committing to the correct C-to-D connector and avoiding any “Exit/Salida” down-escalators that dump you landside.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |

| Terminal B central checkpoint | Airside spine to Concourse C | 5–7 min |
| Concourse C retail zone | Terminal D connector entrance | 3–5 min |
| Terminal D connector corridor | Gate D1 area | 4–6 min |
| Full airside path | Main checkpoint to Gate D1 | 12–15 min |
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport Terminal D Map Strategy
- Stay on Level 2 the entire time; any down escalator or elevator marked “Baggage Claim / Salida” is the irreversible exit that forces re-screening.
- Use the last dense landmarks as confirmation before committing: the duty-free walk-through after security, then the Concourse C zone near Metropol and Starbucks, then the quieter Terminal D connector corridor.
- Budget walk time as a measured chain: 5–7 minutes to reach Concourse C, 3–5 minutes to the Terminal D connector entrance, 4–6 minutes to the first Terminal D gates; treat 20–25 minutes as your tight-connection buffer.
- Load resources before the connector: water and food in Terminals B/C (especially near Starbucks), because the Terminal D gate area is a “service desert” with limited late-night options.

Terminal D remains a commuter-style gate area reached by a long indoor airside walk from the main checkpoint, with no tram or shuttle backup. The biggest operational reality is scarcity: fewer food, retail, charging, and sometimes unreliable water options once you commit to the Terminal D connector. Printing a map helps lock in the correct Level 2 corridor and the Concourse C-to-Terminal D “left turn” pivot.

What is the exact walking time (minutes) from the main TSA checkpoint to the nearest Terminal D gate?
Walking takes 12–15 minutes from the main Terminal B central TSA checkpoint exit to the first Terminal D gate area (Gate D1). That timing assumes a normal pace with a carry-on and staying airside the whole way.
The path runs straight through the post-security duty-free walk-through, then along the main airside spine past Concourse B and into Concourse C before you enter the long Terminal D connector corridor. Typical segment timing is 5–7 minutes to reach Concourse C, 3–5 minutes to the Terminal D connector entrance, then 4–6 minutes through the connector to Gate D1. For tight connections, a 20–25 minute buffer covers slow walking, crowds in B/C, and brief stops.
Where is the airside connector entrance you must take to reach Terminal D without exiting security?
The airside connector entrance is at the far end of Concourse C, where the route splits and the Terminal D corridor begins on the left. Staying on the upper level keeps you inside the secure area.
After clearing the main Terminal B checkpoint and exiting the duty-free walk-through, follow overhead signs for Concourse C and Gates D. Walk through the Concourse C retail zone until the space thins out near the last major Concourse C food/coffee landmarks (Metropol nearby in the B/C zone and Starbucks in Concourse C). At the end of that retail stretch, take the left-hand passage signed for Terminal D or Gates D1–D9 into the long enclosed connector corridor, and ignore any “Exit/Salida” or “Baggage Claim” directions that point downstairs.
What is the single most common wrong turn that causes passengers to exit the secure area while walking toward Terminal D?
Taking a down escalator or elevator marked “Baggage Claim / Salida” near the Concourse C-to-Terminal D transition is the most common wrong turn that breaks the secure path. Once you go downstairs into the arrivals/baggage corridors, you’ve crossed out of the sterile area and must re-enter and re-clear security to get back to the gates.
This usually happens when the concourse gets quieter and narrower and the larger, brighter “Exit” signage feels like the “safe” continuation. The fail-safe is simple: stay on Level 2 and keep following overhead signs for Gates D1–D9 into the long enclosed connector. If you see one-way glass doors, baggage carousels, or an arrivals hall, you’ve already exited security.
What is the exact walking distance (feet/meters) from the Terminal C airside connector to the first Terminal D gate?
Walking distance is about 800–1,000 feet (250–300 meters) from the Concourse C airside connector entrance to the first Terminal D gate area at Gate D1. This is the long enclosed corridor segment that feels longer because it has few amenities and less foot traffic.
The distance starts where you leave the Concourse C retail zone and enter the signed Terminal D connector passage, then continues straight until the gate area opens up at the first D gates. A practical landmark check is that the restroom block sits right at the D-side end of this walk, immediately near the entrance to the gate area across from Gate D1.
Where is the Terminal D check-in/ticketing located relative to the main entrance (which doors/escalators)?
Terminal D check-in and ticketing functions are handled in the main ticketing hall on the departures level of Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, not at a separate standalone Terminal D frontage. The shortest workable setup is treating Terminal B departures as your landside starting point.
From the departures curb, enter through the main departures doors into the central check-in hall and look for your airline’s counters there, then complete the USDA X-ray screening that sits near the departures-level entrances before joining any check-in or TSA line. For Terminal D departures on regional/commuter carriers, a practical drop-off instruction is “departures level, main terminal ticketing hall,” because being dropped at “Terminal D” can put you far from the active counter area and add unnecessary walking before you even clear security.
Where is the closest restroom to the Terminal D gates (and which gate number is it nearest)?
The closest restroom is immediately by the start of the Terminal D gate area, positioned across from Gate D1. It’s the first restroom block you reach right after you finish the long connector walk from Concourse C.
Coming from Concourse C, stay airside on the upper level through the enclosed connector corridor until the space opens into the D gate cluster. The restrooms sit right at that transition point, so you don’t need to walk deeper into the D gates to find them. If you’re using Gate D1 as your anchor, the restroom doors are directly opposite that first gate.
Where is the closest water bottle refill / drinking fountain to the Terminal D gate area?
The closest reliable water source is in Concourse C near the Terminal D connector entrance, with Starbucks as the practical “last-chance” stop before the long walk. Depending on maintenance, there may be a fountain near the Gate D1 restrooms, but it’s not a dependable plan in the Terminal D area.
The safest flow is to secure water while you’re still in the busier B/C spine, then commit to the D connector with your bottle already filled. Use Starbucks in Concourse C as your confirmation landmark and hydration stop; once you pass it and enter the connector, turning back adds a costly round trip on foot. If you do check the D-side fountain, do it at the restroom block across from Gate D1, but treat it as a bonus rather than your primary refill strategy.
What is the exact route from Terminal D baggage claim to the Uber/rideshare pickup point (which doors + curb zone)?
Rideshare pickup is on the arrivals level curbside in the designated “Rideshare” pickup area, reached by exiting baggage claim through the sliding doors to the ground-level curb. The simplest execution is “Arrivals level → outside doors → follow Rideshare signage to the marked pickup zone along the curb columns.”
From the Terminal D arrival flow, follow signs to baggage claim and exit into the public arrivals hall (Level 1). After collecting bags, walk to the nearest set of automatic sliding exit doors and step onto the curb; look up at the overhead curb signage and the column placards for “Rideshare” and proceed along the curb to the signed pickup area. If the curb looks congested or signage pushes pickups to a different section, the most consistently active rideshare operations cluster along the main arrivals curb areas serving the central terminal, so following the nearest “Rideshare” wayfinding to the busier pickup zone is typically faster than hunting for an empty curb segment.
Where is the taxi stand relative to Terminal D arrivals, and what is the shortest indoor path to reach it?
The taxi stand is on the arrivals level curb outside the terminal, reached by the shortest indoor path of exiting the arrivals/baggage claim hall through the nearest sliding doors. Once outside, taxis queue along the regulated curbside pickup line closest to the building.
After you arrive and reach the public arrivals hall (Level 1), follow “Ground Transportation” or “Taxi” wayfinding to the exit doors. The fastest indoor routing is simply: baggage claim → walk straight to the closest curbside doors → step out to the curb and look for the taxi queue and any dispatcher podium. If you don’t immediately see a line outside the nearest doors, walk along the curb toward the more central, busier section of the arrivals frontage where dispatchers commonly stage vehicles.
What is the nearest food option to Terminal D that is typically open latest, and where is it located on the concourse map?
Metropol in Concourse C is the nearest substantial food option on the Terminal D path that tends to stay open later than smaller kiosks, and it sits along the B/C spine before you commit to the Terminal D connector. Terminal D itself is a low-amenity area with no reliably open late-night dining right by the gates.
From the main airside route, the “last dense food zone” is the B-to-C area, with Metropol positioned as a clear landmark on the way toward Concourse C. Starbucks in Concourse C is the key backup for drinks and quick items near the connector entrance. Once you turn into the long Terminal D connector corridor, assume you’re past your best options and plan to eat and buy water upstream in Terminals B or C before walking to Gate D1–D9.
Where is the Airport Hotel access located “inside the airport near Terminal D” (which level + which corridor)?
San Juan Airport Hotel access is landside on the departures level near the Terminal D end of the main terminal building, reached via the pre-security corridor on Level 2. Using any airside “Airport Hotel” direction from the gate area risks funneling you toward an exit that breaks security.
From inside the terminal before TSA, stay on the departures level and walk along the landside frontage past the main airline counter areas toward the Terminal D side of the building. Look for hotel wayfinding near the quieter end of the departures corridor and enter via the marked hallway or elevator-bank access to the hotel. If you are already airside, the safest rule is to exit security only if you’re done flying, because returning to the gates requires re-screening.
If your flight departs from Terminal D but you cleared security elsewhere, which landmark store/marker confirms you’re still airside on the correct path to D?
The Starbucks in Concourse C is the best landmark confirmation that you’re still airside and positioned correctly for the Terminal D connector. Seeing the post-security duty-free walk-through first, then reaching the Concourse C retail zone with Starbucks before the quiet corridor shift is the strongest “you’re still inside security” chain.
After you clear the main checkpoint, you should be funneled through the duty-free corridor and then into the B/C spine with overhead gate signage. Continue toward Concourse C until you pass the last dense cluster of shops and food; Starbucks marks the “last chance” node right before the connector commitment. Once you leave that area and enter the long enclosed corridor signed for Gates D1–D9, stay on the upper level and ignore any “Baggage Claim / Salida” prompts pointing downstairs.
