How many terminals does Prague Airport have?

After the security check you need 5 to 10 minutes to walk to gates A, B and C, boarding gates D can be found directly behind the security check of Terminal 2. The old Terminal 1 is used for flights to non-Schengen countries, the modern Terminal 2 for flights to Schengen countries.
