Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Arrive 3h Schengen / 4h non-Schengen

Build in extra 30-60 min for passport control queues.

Peak international departures often see 45-90 min passport-control waits.

Terminal

Confirm T1 vs T2 before arrival

T2 low-cost only; free shuttle every few minutes.

No lounges in T2—plan connections via T1 if needed.

Food

Eat before security for variety

Landside options beat airside in quality and price.

Post-security focuses on quick bites with limited hot-meal variety airside.

Status

Star Alliance Gold or PP for lounges

TAP lounges priority for elites; ANA via PP/DragonPass.

Day passes available but capacity limits apply during peaks.
