Tips for 40 min Connections
Because it's a single terminal, connecting flights rarely require long walks—just watch for the one Schengen/non-Schengen checkpoint if your itinerary crosses that line.
Screen displays are limited compared to major hubs, so confirm your gate at an information desk or app rather than relying on wandering signage.
Food and shop options are modest, so if you have a longer layover, expect a quiet wait rather than an entertainment-filled one.
Air France regional connections (e.g., to/from Paris CDG or Orly) are the most common transfer pattern here and are well-timed for typical layovers.
If arriving from a non-Schengen country and connecting onward within Europe, budget extra time for the passport/security recheck near the non-Schengen pier.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All halls sit within one continuous terminal building, so passengers move entirely on foot with no train or shuttle required. Security re-screening is only needed when moving between the Schengen and non-Schengen zones, which is a single checkpoint near the non-Schengen pier rather than a full terminal-wide re-clear.
