Tips for 1 hr Connections
Connections at BZG are uncommon; confirm your itinerary with the airline as most flights here are point-to-point.
The single terminal is compact, so walking times are minimal, but flight delays cascade quickly due to limited gate capacity.
Baggage may not be automatically transferred on tight connections—ask the first airline's desk before departing.
Peak hours (roughly 08:00–18:00) can see queues at security; arrive at your gate 45 minutes before departure for safety.
The airport has minimal food and retail; use your connection time to rest rather than shop.

All areas are within a 5–8 minute walk, and security re-screening between Schengen and non-Schengen flights is required only when exiting and re-entering the international zone.
