AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Assume you must exit and re-enter security since Ryanair itineraries here are almost never through-checked.
If self-connecting, budget extra time for baggage reclaim as bags rarely transfer automatically between separate bookings.
The terminal is small enough that even gate-to-gate walks rarely exceed 10-12 minutes.
Passport control between Schengen and non-Schengen piers can back up quickly during peak Ryanair bank departures in the early morning and early evening.
Avoid scheduling tight connections around 6-9am or 5-8pm when multiple Ryanair banks land and depart simultaneously.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
BGY has one terminal building with a single central security checkpoint feeding two gate piers split by Schengen and non-Schengen status. Passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight pass through passport control, but there is no train or shuttle — everything is done on foot within a few hundred meters.
