AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals A and B are physically connected by an internal corridor, so all transfers are done on foot with no shuttle or train required. Passengers moving between a non-Schengen flight and a Schengen or inter-island flight must pass through a passport/security checkpoint, which adds the bulk of connection time; pure inter-island-to-inter-island transfers avoid this entirely.
