Can I make a 4 hours connection at BOD on an international flight?
4 hours clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Merignac, but you should still head directly to your gate. Hall A and the Billi low-cost hall are separate buildings linked by an outdoor covered walkway of about 5-8 minutes on foot. There is no shuttle or train, and passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight must clear passport control, which is the main added step rather than a security re-screen.

We recommend at least 50 minutes for a comfortable connection at Merignac. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 10 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 15 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at BOD?
If you misconnect, go directly to your airline's check-in counter in Hall A or Hall B, as there are no dedicated transfer desks; with limited daily frequencies, rebooking may mean waiting until the next day for some routes.
