🚨 At the Wrong Terminal? Don’t Panic!
If you parked at Terminal 1 but your flight is at Terminal 3 (or vice versa), here is how to fix it:
- If you have checked bags: You MUST take the Inter-Terminal Shuttle (Runs every 15-30 mins outside Level Zero).
- If you have NO checked bags: You can take the Tram (Secure Side). Clear security at your current terminal and take the Tram to the D Gates.
