Schengen vs non-Schengen splits the terminals
Terminal 1 handles non-Schengen arrivals (UK, US, Turkey, long-haul); Terminal 2 handles Schengen arrivals. Confirm the terminal from the boarding pass.
Single forecourt for both terminals
Terminals 1 and 2 share one external road and adjacent car parks. Walking between the two arrivals halls takes about 3-5 minutes landside.
Czech-language names
Pre-load names with Czech characters (á, č, ď, é, ě, í, ň, ó, ř, š, ť, ú, ů, ý, ž) correctly. A digital sign renders them cleanly where a hand-written one often does not.
