Tips for 4 hr Connections
Almost all flights use Terminal 3, so a same-terminal connection is usually just a walk, not a bus ride.
If your itinerary crosses between a Schengen flight and a UK, Moroccan, or other non-Schengen flight, budget extra time for passport control.
Summer months bring heavy leisure charter traffic and long security lines, especially between 6am and 10am and mid-afternoon.
Ryanair, Vueling, and easyJet all operate significant schedules here but AGP is not a true hub, so self-connecting on separate tickets carries real risk if there's any delay.
Signage is clear and distances are short, so a 45-60 minute connection is comfortable for same-zone transfers with no baggage recheck needed.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Nearly all scheduled traffic operates from Terminal 3, so most connections involve a walk through the same building rather than a bus or train transfer. Passengers moving between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must pass through passport control and sometimes a secondary security check, which adds the most time to any transfer.
