AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
The entire airport is one compact terminal building, so moving between gates is a short walk of a few minutes. Passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen flights pass through passport control and, in most cases, a fresh security screening since there is no sterile transfer corridor.
