No. In practice, this isn't typically an issue because the closest 
facilities are normally in the same zone as you are, both for security 
and customs. They also tend to be less useful features because it's 
easier to look up for a restroom sign than use a device.


And this is leaving aside flights that arrive, where they may send you 
on at least two sets of internal passages leading out of secured areas, 
or into the general waiting area at the gates.

 Agreed for restrooms.
 
 For charging stations,

AFAIK, this is about mapping the different named areas of the *terminal* - AKA 
how do people refer to the areas of the terminal itself. 

is it domestic? International? in the “sterile” area after security check? is 
it arrivals, departures, or both? 

i don’t think we can map the area before or after the checkpoints yet, as 
indoor mapping is not finalized -  so lets skip the sterile stuff for now. 

the aeroway=gate tag isn’t for the building nor the passengers inside - it is 
where the nose-wheel of the plane parks - the current gate tag is for the 
*plane* not the passengers. we have no good way to map the people side of the 
airport yet - just what is there for the planes and the large visible building 
sections of the terminal (and pin points where amenities and shops and whatnot 
are) . 

A certain kind of flight may arrive with a certain kind of passengers, but is 
the terminal they arrive at have a specially named area of the terminal used 
just for this kind of passenger, beyond international and domestic? My guess is 
no. Because they are just going through the international arrivals section of 
the international terminal to immigration, and onto international baggage 
claim, then through customs into the public area of the airport.

For now, mapping the “domestic” and “international” labels of the terminal, as 
well as the “satellites” of the terminals - all of these are buildings (or very 
large pieces of buildings) are named on airport guide maps, and should be 
easily mapped as OSM is today, probably with a terminal=* subtag

terminal:travellers=international
terminal:travellers=domestic
terminal:travellers=mixed

Terminal:part=satellite 
Terminal:part=wing 
Terminal:part=main

these work together, as often large sections of a terminal are designated for 
international or domestic use (the design of modern terminals are purpose built 
for one or the other and not adaptable, so it is permanently designated) - if 
the whole terminal itself is not dedicated for a particular way.  Having a 
slightly darker or lighter shade of purple for the international or domestic 
sections can make seeing which terminals or terminal satellites serve what 
purpose very easy. 


After indoor mapping is finalized, then we can worry about levels being 
assigned to departures, arrivals, transit, security checks, private, etc,etc. 


I think those above tags are the only “zones we can create for inside the 
terminal now - the zones on the apron or runway area could be mapped now, as 
they are not indoor areas.

I'm not really familiar with the topic, but in Europe there is a special
treatment for Schengen passengers  see [1]
I wonder whether it is just the customs or that there are really zones
related to this within the airport. If so, there might me a need for a
separate value for that.
Maybe someone with more travel experience can comment on this ?

Summary: this is not an area of the airport - it is an area of Europe - so this 
affects immigration policy of customs and immigration officials at existing 
checkpoints - but AFAIK is not a separate mappable zone at the airports in the 
EU.

This becomes a factor when dealing with domestic versus international areas - 
traveling through the EU countries who accepted the Schengen proposal  (if I 
read the article correctly)  is similar to or the same as domestic” travel 
inside a single country. People arriving on an intra-EU flight between these 
countries is arriving at the “domestic” terminal, as there is no visa check, 
hence no immigration check. Reading the wiki page, it sounds like they do 
common “security” checks, you *do* have to prove nationality, but do *not* have 
to prove your visa status if you are identified as a resident of a Schengen 
country. 

Someone flying from outside the EU Shengen area  (inter-EU travel, like from 
Japan ^_^ ) would be arriving at the international terminal and will go through 
immigration / visa check.

so I’m pretty sure this is not an area of the airport - but merely immigration 
rules followed by immigration officials. 

EG: it should be covered by common domestic/international/transit areas as we 
already understand them

The only way I could be wrong is if they have a “Schengen” terminal or 
something like it : special *facilities* at the airport *separate* from the 
normal domestic and international style terminals. Not a separate Schengen line 
at immigration, or a security checkpoint, but if there is a distinct area that 
is different from Domestic and International.

EU residents care to chime in?

This is my guess for how it is in the eu - its merely how immigration reacts to 
arriving customers, not a static state or description of the terminal - which 
are often labeled domestic or international.
