Your exact process depends on your itinerary. Separate tickets, checked baggage, Schengen direction and your arrival hall can change what you need to do.

Typical journey flow

  1. 1

    Leave the aircraft and follow the yellow Transfer / Correspondance signs.

  2. 2

    Walk or take the inter-terminal connection shown for your terminal pair.

  3. 3

    Go straight to your departure gate — no border control inside the Schengen zone.

  4. 4

    Check screens for gate changes and boarding time; keep your boarding pass handy.

What can change this

  • Your nationality and visa status can add requirements (see passport control and EES guides).
  • Separate tickets with baggage to reclaim turn this into a landside journey through arrivals.
  • Terminal pair and hall (2E K/L/M) change the walking and shuttle time.
