Differentiated terminal places

If the airport has differentiated access for arrivals and departures, or if it has multiple terminals, additional point places should be added for these destinations. This is especially important when the arrivals and departures are on different levels. Ensure the access roads for these different levels are mapped separately, otherwise the correct navigation will not be given. Adding separate point places enables users to obtain more specific navigation instructions. Name these places using the airport code in its primary name followed by a descriptor in title case. Examples include:

Condition	Examples of additional point place names
A single terminal with separate arrival and departure levels or locations on the same road	CMH Departures			CMH Arrivals
Multiple terminals each with common arrival and departure areas	SFO Terminal 1		SFO Terminal 2		SFO Terminal 3
Multiple terminals with separate arrivals and departure levels or locations on the same road	JFK Terminal 1 Arrivals JFK Terminal 1 Departures		JFK Terminal 2 Arrivals JFK Terminal 2 Departures		JFK Terminal 3 Arrivals JFK Terminal 3 Departures
Combinations of the above	DFW Terminal 1 Arrivals DFW Terminal 1 Departures		DFW Terminal 2		DFW International Terminal

These example are fictitious and do not reflect reality at these airports.

Use of the airport code is important, since using a longer name could cause the descriptor to be cut off in the search results display. If an airport does not have an IATA code, use the FAA identifier in these names. Alternate names can include other names for the airport, along with the descriptor. Again add all relevant information, and link external results that pertain to these specific terminals or destinations.
