Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Reserve free security time slot online before arrival.
Reduces wait stress at peak times; confirm name match with booking.
T1 for Star Alliance/Lufthansa; T3 for SkyTeam and many non-Schengen.
SkyLine runs T1–T3 by day; nightly 23:00–04:00 it stops and a free shuttle bus takes over. Allow 15–20 min between terminals.
Better variety and prices before security in T1 or new T3 options.
Airside selections are limited and pricier; grab before clearing controls.
Monitor for gate changes in this large hub with frequent transfers.
T3 non-Schengen zone has new SkyTeam lounge for eligible passengers.
Convenient and functional for Pier A, with paid access sometimes possible but capacity limited.
