Tips for 25 min Connections
If your connection spans Hall A and Hall B, budget extra time for the outdoor walkway, especially in rain.
There are no airline transfer desks, so if you're on separate tickets you'll need to collect and recheck bags yourself.
Security lines are usually short outside the early morning and early evening bank of departures.
Passport control for non-Schengen arrivals (UK, Morocco, etc.) can add a noticeable queue at peak times.
Given the airport's small scale, arriving at your connecting gate 20 minutes before boarding is normally sufficient.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
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.
