Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Security rarely exceeds 10 min; book FastTrack if parking multi-storey.

Gates 1-3 for some European flights; 4-26 spread out but walkable in 10-15 min.
Escape or Aspire for unlimited food/drinks if eligible; otherwise pre-security options are limited.
