Tips for 1 hr Connections
Avoid booking tight connections at BJV since it lacks a dedicated transit area and same-terminal connections are rare.
If your itinerary spans Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, budget at least an hour for the shuttle transfer and re-screening.
Outside peak summer season, flight frequencies drop significantly, so a missed connection could mean waiting until the next day.
Charter and low-cost carriers dominate here, so airline-to-airline transfer agreements are limited — recheck baggage may be required.
Arrive well before departure in July and August when the single main terminal gets congested with tour groups.

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
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separate buildings a short distance apart, connected by a curbside shuttle bus or a 10–15 minute walk along the terminal road; there is no airside link between them. Passengers switching terminals must exit through arrivals, transit landside, and re-enter through security and (for international flights) passport control at the new terminal.
