AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
There is no shuttle or train — the entire airport is one terminal building, and moving between the Schengen and non-Schengen sides simply means walking through a passport control point. On a busy day with several widebody or charter arrivals stacked, that walk plus queueing at passport control can eat up most of the transit time.
