Tips for 40 min Connections
Check in online in advance, as the small terminal's check-in counters can queue up before peak departures.
If connecting between a non-Schengen flight (e.g. UK) and a Schengen flight, budget extra time for passport control since it's not automated.
Wizz Air's base operations mean most connections are same-airline, simplifying self-transfer baggage rules.
The terminal has limited food and lounge options, so grab refreshments before security if you have a longer layover.
Gate information is posted late due to the small number of gates, so watch screens rather than expecting early boarding calls.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
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
All flights operate from a single compact terminal building with a shared departure lounge and gates reached on foot or via short apron bus rides to remote stands. There is no dedicated transit system since the entire terminal can be crossed in under 10 minutes; security re-screening is only needed if arriving from outside Schengen and connecting onward within Schengen, or vice versa.
