1. Coming in from BCN on Iberia, would I have to go through security check again? Similar to FRA where they make you get screened again; or do i just get off the gate and airside...
2. Does MXP have "automated gates" for EU ePassports to exit Schengen at Terminal 1? Trying to figure out if the wait time would be more than 10 min.
Thanks!
1. Someone with more recent experience may know better, but I think you do need to reclear security between T1A and T1B. You'll basically land in A on the domestic side, exit the airside part of the terminal, then reclear to go into B. I don't recall a walking airside connector.
2. I believe so, but I have a younger child who can't use them, so I haven't purposely looked in a while. I'm not sure that you'd wait more than 10 mins even if you can't use an e-gate.
Someone may come along with a more current answer, but that's what I think I recall.
