How connections work at MRS

At Marseille Provence airport, passengers connecting between two international flights can usually stay in the transit area without going through immigration.

The airport has 2 terminals or concourses (Terminal 1 (halls A and B), Terminal 2 (Aer Lingus, easyJet, Ryanair)). They are not connected after security: changing means going through security again.

Connecting passengers go through a transfer security screening.

Terminals / concourses: Terminal 1 (halls A and B), Terminal 2 (Aer Lingus, easyJet, Ryanair)

Getting between them: Walking outdoors between the terminals (less than 150 m between the main entrances)

The two terminal buildings are not connected; their main entrances are less than 150 metres apart along the sidewalk. Direct transit inside Terminal 1 is possible if you arrive on a Schengen flight and already have a boarding pass for the connecting flight; in other cases you leave the transit area and go through security again.

  • If you change between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, allow time for a new security check: Terminal 2 is small and can be crowded.

Estimate based on typical times at this airport, not your airline's official minimum connection time. Immigration and security lines change with the time of day and season. On a single ticket, the airline must rebook you if you miss the connection; on separate tickets, it does not.
