Outside Pet Relief Areas

There are two pet relief areas outside. These are well signed and well-lit areas, so you should have no trouble finding these areas and making use of them even in the dark. Follow the paw prints on the sidewalk from the exits to find them. One can be found on both ends of the terminal, outside of both door 1 and door 6.
