Airports serving two countries at the same time

The modernity and large area of ​​many international airports make many travelers extremely confused. However, travelers have to be even more careful with airports that span two countries.

The actual runway is located in France, but the airport has two customs areas, one Swiss and one French. In addition, it is only 4km from the German border, so Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg airport also serves this country. Technically, you can cross the border inside the airport terminal as long as you have a valid passport or ID card.
