AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Valencia Airport has a single terminal building with all gates accessible on foot, so there is no shuttle or train system required. Passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight must pass through passport control and sometimes re-clear security, which is the main source of delay rather than distance.
