AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Genoa Sestri has no real hub operations, so double-check that your connection is even ticketed as a through itinerary rather than two separate bookings.
The terminal is small enough that you can walk from arrivals to departures gates in under 10 minutes.
If connecting from a non-Schengen flight, budget extra time for passport control since immigration facilities are modest and can queue up with just one or two wide-body arrivals.
Food and shopping options are limited, so don't plan on a leisurely wait even with extra time.
Confirm your connecting flight's status directly with staff, as gate information and monitors can be sparse compared to larger hubs.

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.
The terminal is a single small building with gates just steps from check-in and security, so there is no need for shuttles or trains. Passengers arriving from Schengen flights and connecting to another Schengen flight typically don't need to re-clear security if still airside, but non-Schengen arrivals must pass through passport control and often re-screening.
