🏢 Terminal Information
L’Alpe d’Huez Altiport (AHZ, LFHU) is a mountain airfield serving the ski resort above Bourg‑d’Oisans in the French Alps. It features a short, sloped runway and operates primarily for general aviation, helicopter transfers, and seasonal charter activity rather than scheduled airline service. A small chalet‑style terminal/FBO sits beside the apron and provides pilot/passenger services.\n\nThe layout is compact. Parking is next to the terminal, with a 1–2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to parked aircraft on the apron is a short, escorted walk—usually under a minute depending on stand position. There are no buses or jet bridges; all access is ground‑level.\n\nThere is no commercial TSA‑style screening and no on‑site immigration/customs. International arrivals must route via a designated airport of entry elsewhere in France or the EU and reposition. Mountain operations are weather‑sensitive; winter conditions, wind, and visibility can delay or curtail flights.\n\nAmenities include a pilot lounge/briefing space, restrooms, and Wi‑Fi when staffed; food and retail are in the resort village nearby. Helicopter services and winter support (de‑icing as available) can be arranged through the operator. Ground transport includes resort shuttles, pre‑booked taxis, and rental cars obtained in the valley or resort per arrangement.\n\nAccessibility is step‑free between parking and the terminal; staff can assist as needed. Family facilities are limited at the altiport—travelers should bring baby supplies and snacks, and plan for alpine weather when moving between buildings and aircraft.

🏢 Terminal Information
Ajaccio – Napoleon Bonaparte Airport (AJA) serves Corsica from a single terminal that handles both Schengen and non‑Schengen traffic. Landside, the departures hall includes airline check‑in counters and kiosks; after security, passengers reach an airside concourse with gates for domestic/Schengen flights and a controlled area for non‑Schengen services. Arrivals proceed to baggage claim and the public exit on the lower level.\n\nWalking distances are modest. From curb or parking to check‑in is typically 2–4 minutes. From security to the nearest gates takes about 3–5 minutes; to the farthest stands, 6–8 minutes. There are no inter‑terminal transfers. Signage is provided in French, Corsican, and English; wayfinding distinguishes Schengen/non‑Schengen flows.\n\nSecurity screening is centralized before departures, with summer‑peak waits around 10–25 minutes. Non‑Schengen departures clear exit passport control after security, while non‑Schengen arrivals clear immigration before baggage claim and pass customs on exit.\n\nAmenities include cafés/bars with local specialties, convenience and souvenir shops, car‑rental counters, ATMs, and quiet/prayer spaces. A small lounge may operate for eligible passengers. Free Wi‑Fi is usually available, though performance can vary during holiday peaks. Ground transport options include buses to Ajaccio, taxis at the forecourt, and adjacent rental‑car facilities.\n\nAccessibility provisions include step‑free routes, lifts, and accessible restrooms; PRM assistance can be arranged with airlines. Family facilities include baby‑changing rooms and family restrooms; bring children’s activities for peak‑season queues.
