AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All terminals sit in a single connected building arranged in a horseshoe shape around the central area, so passengers walk directly between gates with no shuttle or train required. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen flights (e.g., from the UK or intercontinental routes) must clear passport control and sometimes a secondary security check before entering the Schengen-only zones.
