What were your experiences getting through Customs, Security, etc.? Will I have to change terminals? TIA
Nothing to worry about. You will be arriving to T4S and after passport control you will be departing from T4 main terminal. You catch an automated train which takes you 3 min. If Aa does the job well you will already have your bp to Rome and baggage checked through.
You have enough time. In Europe connecting is very easy far quicker than in the US where you need 5 hours to do all the stuff.
Enjoy!
