AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are connected by a covered walkway (about 10-12 minutes on foot) and also by a free shuttle bus that runs regularly. Terminal 1 is farther out and typically requires the free inter-terminal shuttle train or bus, adding 15-20 minutes; passengers connecting between terminals generally must clear security again since each terminal has its own checkpoint.
