The FCT on the other hand overlooks a car park and isn't in the least bit interesting in any sense of the word. The staff are lovely at both and the F&B offerings the same. The only thing you lose if the private security and possibly a car to the plane - but if your flight leave from anywhere other than B you get a car from the Fcl anyway.
Excellent info. If my Schengen flight departs from B I will walk to the FCT for the car ride (and a little exercise getting to the FCT). Otherwise I will figure out how to get to FCL B.
