Terminals / concourses: Terminal 1 (non-Schengen, Piers A and B), Terminal 2 (Schengen, Piers C and D)

Getting between them: Walking through the indoor connecting corridor between Terminals 1 and 2 (5 to 10 minutes)

Terminal 1 handles flights outside the Schengen area and Terminal 2 Schengen flights. The terminals are linked by an indoor corridor; a connection that crosses the Schengen boundary goes through passport control, while Schengen-to-Schengen connections stay in Terminal 2 with no passport check.

Full border control is in Terminal 1: connections between Schengen and non-Schengen flights require passport control.

  • Treat 60 minutes as tight for a connection between Terminals 1 and 2, and check your airline's minimum connection time.

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.
