Is ADB easy to connect through?
Adnan Menderes Airport is a compact single-terminal facility, making connections here straightforward compared to major hubs, though it isn't really designed as a connecting hub — most passengers are origin/destination travelers heading to or from the Aegean coast. Domestic-to-international connections require an extra passport control step, but distances are short since everything is under one roof. There is a single terminal building with domestic and international sections connected by a shared central concourse, so all transfers are on foot. Passengers moving from domestic to international (or vice versa) pass through passport control and a security re-screening point; purely domestic-to-domestic transfers usually just require a walk through the terminal without re-clearing security if already airside.
