AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals A, B, and C are physically joined by a covered airside corridor known internally as the 'Sky Boulevard,' so most transfers are done entirely on foot without shuttles or trains. Passengers connecting between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must pass through a passport control point within the terminal complex, and some itineraries require a security re-screening if arriving from outside the Schengen/EU security zone.
