Terminals
Landvetter Airport has two terminals, domestic and international, even though all check-in is made in the international terminal now, since all luggage has to be screened. The transfer area has several shops, cafes, and a restaurant. There is a hotel 350 metres (1,150 ft) from the terminal. The passenger departure and arrival functions are on one level. The domestic terminal area is on one side of the series of structure adjacent to the international departure area, which is adjacent to the international arrival area.
The domestic terminal has four air bridges, gate 12–15A, and a stairway to the ground at gate 15 called 15B, and two gates with airside bus transfer, called gate 10–11. The domestic gates are reached through the security check in the domestic terminal.
The international terminal also has four air bridges, gate 16A, 17, 19A, 20A. There are also stairs to the ground for them. Gates 18A–18G are for airside bus transfer.
The international terminal has an outside-Schengen Area with strict passport check. The gate 20 and the airside bus gates called 21A–21D belong to this area. The gate 19 can flexibly be inside or outside Schengen. Gates 16–18 are inside Schengen. The freight terminal uses gate numbers below 10.
Swedish customs rules necessitate strict separation of domestic and international gates. In several airports in other parts of Europe, intra-Schengen and domestic flights use gates next to each other.
