My confusion comes from "just following the signs" and never being fully aware of when I'm airside or just in some sort of strange area in-between. My assumption is that one arrives from an overseas star alliance flight at Gate Hx, and to get to your Shengen filght at Gate Gx, you go landside without really knowing and, when you go through security, that's your re-entry to airside. Passport control comes when you exit H terminal.

So to apply for EasyPass isn't that big a deal, the landside part, because you're already landside anyway. You just need the time to do it.

Does the EasyPass do anything beyond access to the electronic passport gates? Thanks!
