Terminals are drawn side by side for reading only; their order and spacing are not geographic, and no walking link between terminals is implied.

Selected verified locations only, not a complete terminal inventory. Airport confirms relief areas at all terminals; remaining gates, levels, newly changed areas and terminal access: verify on site. Terminal 4 source is its official operator; Terminal 5 rooftop source is the airport itself. Do not infer access between terminals.
