Getting Around DUS Airport
DUS Airport features a single terminal structure divided into three interconnected concourses: A, B, and C. Each concourse is designed to serve different airlines and destinations. Terminal A is primarily for Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners, Terminal B caters to domestic and EU flights with various airline alliances, and Terminal C is dedicated to non-Schengen international flights. The terminals are connected by a central spine, making it easy to walk between them without needing additional transportation.
Here are some tips for navigating the airport efficiently:- Familiarize yourself with the gate numbering system; gates are sequentially numbered within each terminal (A01-A16 in Terminal A, B01-B11 in Terminal B, and C01-C08 in Terminal C).- Look for directional signage; these are strategically placed to guide you to your gate, lounges, and other facilities.- If you're transferring between flights, especially from Schengen to non-Schengen areas, allow extra time for security checks and border control procedures.
