AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Nearly all scheduled traffic operates from Terminal 3, so most connections involve a walk through the same building rather than a bus or train transfer. Passengers moving between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must pass through passport control and sometimes a secondary security check, which adds the most time to any transfer.
