AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Hall A and the Billi low-cost hall are separate buildings linked by an outdoor covered walkway of about 5-8 minutes on foot. There is no shuttle or train, and passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight must clear passport control, which is the main added step rather than a security re-screen.
