AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
NAP has one compact terminal building, so all connections are made on foot with no shuttle or train required. Passengers moving between a Schengen flight and a non-Schengen flight (e.g., to/from the UK or outside the EU) pass through a passport control checkpoint separating the two zones, which is the main source of delay.
