Tips for 35 min Connections
Reconfirm your connecting flight time on arrival since Air Botswana's schedule has limited daily frequencies and misconnections can mean an overnight wait.
Keep boarding passes and passports easily accessible, as international connections require a full re-clear through immigration and customs.
Arrive at the gate well before boarding closes since the terminal is small but staff often board early once passengers are present.
Expect minimal food and shopping options, so carry snacks or a meal if you have a long layover.
If connecting to or from Johannesburg, note that this is the busiest route and can see brief queues at check-in during peak hours.

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
The entire airport is a single compact terminal building, so all connections are made on foot with no shuttles or trains required. International arrivals pass through immigration and customs before re-entering the departures area, and there is no separate domestic-only bypass, meaning most connecting passengers re-clear security.
