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.
What is in each West Palm Beach terminal?
Here is what each terminal or concourse at PBI handles — which airlines fly from it, the gate range, and key amenities to know before you go.
Concourse A
PBI's smallest concourse and its only ground-level, hardstand concourse (no jet bridges), with 4 gates (A1–A4) serving Bahamasair's short international hop to Nassau, Bahamas. Passengers board via a brief outdoor walk across the tarmac to the aircraft, so it feels different from B and C.
Concourse B
13 jetway gates serving Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines. Its own security checkpoint sits at the Main Terminal end (shared entry point also used for Concourse A); the concourse holds the Priority-Pass Escape Lounge and post-security family/nursing suites near the TSA checkpoint.
Concourse C
PBI's largest concourse with 15 gates serving Air Canada, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and Porter Airlines — including the Toronto and Montreal routes that make up most of PBI's international service beyond the Bahamas. Has its own dedicated security checkpoint at the opposite end of the terminal from Concourses A/B, the Delta Sky Club near Gate C4, and family suites near Gate C6.
How do I get between terminals at West Palm Beach?
PBI is a single compact terminal building where all three concourses fan out directly from the Level 2 departures level — there is no train, tram, or shuttle between concourses, and every gate is within roughly a 7-minute walk. The catch is that PBI runs two separate security checkpoints rather than one shared sterile area: one near the Main Terminal/Concourse B entrance clears passengers for Concourses A and B, and a second, separate checkpoint at the Concourse C entrance clears passengers for Concourse C only.
Timing tip
Always allow 15–30 minutes for any inter-terminal transfer at PBI — 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.
How do I find my gate at West Palm Beach?
Go straight to the checkpoint that matches your airline's concourse — the Main Terminal/Concourse A-B checkpoint for Allegiant, American, Avelo, Bahamasair, Southwest, or United, and the Concourse C checkpoint for Air Canada, Breeze, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, or Porter. If you're connecting between a Concourse A/B flight and a Concourse C flight, confirm with your airline whether the two secure areas interconnect airside or whether you'll need to exit and re-clear security, since PBI's two checkpoints sit on opposite ends of the building.
A few habits that prevent last-minute sprints:
- Open your airline app two hours before departure. Gate assignments update in the app before they appear on printed boarding passes and sometimes before terminal displays are updated.
- Check departure screens immediately after clearing security. Every terminal at PBI has overhead departure boards near the checkpoint exit — confirming your gate here costs 30 seconds and can save a long detour.
- Note which security checkpoint serves your concourse. At multi-concourse airports, entering through the wrong checkpoint can mean exiting security and re-queuing, which adds 20 minutes or more.
- International arrivals follow the customs signs first. If you are connecting from an international arrival, clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection before looking for your domestic connection gate — the process is one-way.
What is the easiest way to navigate West Palm Beach?
Experienced travellers at PBI use a short checklist every time:
- Review the map before leaving home. Open the West Palm Beach official map on your phone while you are still home so the terminal layout is familiar.
- Know your terminal before you arrive. At airports with multiple separate buildings (JFK, LAX, DTW, MSP) confirm your terminal from your boarding pass — rideshare and taxi drivers need the correct terminal to drop you at the right curb.
- Use automated people-movers instead of walking. At large airports with trains (ATL Plane Train, DFW Skylink, DEN AGTS) a single train ride replaces 20–30 minutes of walking. Look for signs to the train immediately after clearing security.
- Follow colour-coded signage. Most airports (TPA Blue/Red, SEA North/South Satellite, PHX T3/T4) use colour or number coding from curbside through gates — picking the right colour zone at check-in means you do not cross the terminal twice.
- Check the live TSA wait before you leave. Knowing the current security wait at PBI lets you time your departure so you arrive at the gate relaxed, not sprinting.

Your boarding pass shows the exact gate. Open your airline app about two hours before departure — gate assignments sometimes change after check-in closes. Look for departure boards throughout the terminal for real-time gate information.
