Maps are updated when terminals are renovated or new concourses open. Terminal 5 at LAX, for example, has been closed since October 2025 for reconstruction — always confirm your terminal from your boarding pass rather than relying on a saved map.
Here is what each terminal or concourse at FAR handles — which airlines fly from it, the gate range, and key amenities to know before you go.
Hector's original terminal building opened in 1986 with 4 gates and grew to 5 gates by 2008. It houses airline ticket counters, the airport's single TSA security checkpoint (recently relocated as part of the 2026 construction project), baggage claim, and the original SkyDine restaurant/bar and Subway concession near Gate 5. The Airport Gift Shop has a landside location plus a post-security kiosk next to Gate 3 selling snacks, travel essentials, and Fargo/North Dakota/Minnesota-branded gifts and apparel. This original section is scheduled for its own interior renovation, with completion targeted for Q1 2027.
A roughly 73,000-square-foot, $105–155.9 million addition that opened to passengers on February 10, 2026, adding four new gates (6–9) and nearly doubling the airport's total gate count from 5 to 9. The expansion added expanded seating capacity, additional restrooms, a children's play area, a sensory room, a service animal relief area, a mother's room, family restrooms, and an "immersive reality room" with 360-degree destination previews. A new full-service restaurant and bar (replacing SkyDine's current temporary bar setup) and additional concession space are slated to open later in 2026. A new parking ramp (971 spaces, opened 2025) is being connected to this wing by a skyway, under construction through fall 2026.
FAR is a single-story, single-terminal airport — all gates (1–9) are reached on foot from one shared post-security concourse with no tram, train, or shuttle bus required. The new Gates 6–9 wing connects directly to the original concourse via a continuous walkway.
Timing tip
Always allow 15–30 minutes for any inter-terminal transfer at FAR — wait times for people-movers, buses, or security re-screening add up faster than the physical distance suggests. Build the buffer into your Leave-By time, not your gate arrival time.
FAR is mid-construction through Q1 2027 while the original terminal section is renovated to match the new 2026 addition — the TSA checkpoint and some concessions have recently moved. Confirm your gate on your boarding pass rather than relying on a past visit, since signage and wayfinding are still catching up to the changes.
A few habits that prevent last-minute sprints:
