AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 4 and 5 are connected airside by a covered walkway, so SAS and Star Alliance passengers moving between domestic and international flights typically don't need to re-clear security. Terminals 2 and 3 are physically separate and linked to the T4/T5 complex only via a landside corridor or shuttle bus, meaning passengers transferring from those terminals must exit and re-screen through security.
