Can I make a 1 hour 45 min connection at AVB on an international flight?
1 hour 45 min clears the 75-minute international minimum connection time at Aviano Ab, but you should still head directly to your gate. The base has a single small passenger terminal used for space-available military flights and charters, so there is no inter-terminal transit system. Any transfer is a short walk within one building, and security re-screening is handled by military police/base security rather than TSA-style civilian screening.

What happens if I miss my connection at AVB?
