Tips for 35 min Connections
Since there is only one terminal, follow signage to the correct pier rather than looking for a separate connecting-flights area.
If your connection involves a non-Schengen flight (UK, Ukraine, etc.), budget extra time for the passport control queue, which can back up during peak morning and evening waves.
Low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air dominate schedules here, so same-day rebooking options can be limited if you miss a flight.
Baggage claim and check-in areas are close together, making bag drop for a new ticket relatively quick if you need to rebook.
Arrive at your gate promptly, as GDN gate lounges are small and boarding can start well before departure time.

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 operations run through one terminal building, so 'connecting' simply means walking from one gate pier to another, typically 5-12 minutes depending on gate assignment. Passengers moving between a Schengen flight and a non-Schengen flight (e.g., to the UK or Ukraine) must pass through a passport control checkpoint located in the central terminal area, adding several minutes versus a purely Schengen-to-Schengen transfer.
