Transfer between flights
Nice Airport is not a typical transfer hub, but direct transfer through the transit zone without going outside is possible at each terminal.
For flights from outside the Schengen area, you must always go through security and passport control.
Transfer between terminals is only possible by tram in the public area. Tram travel between terminals 1 and 2 is free of charge. Trams run at intervals of 8 to 9 minutes (see Transport section) and the transfer between terminals takes 3 minutes.
There is no shuttle bus between terminals on the tarmac.
