AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Terminals 1 and 2 are physically joined by an internal connecting corridor that passengers can walk in about 10-15 minutes, with passport control checkpoints for Schengen/non-Schengen transfers. There is no train or bus required between terminals, but security re-screening applies when moving from landside connections or arriving from certain non-EU flights into the Schengen zone.
