Can I make a 1 hour 15 min connection at KGS on an international flight?
1 hour 15 min clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Kos, but you should still head directly to your gate. There is only one terminal building, so all connecting passengers simply walk from arrivals to the departures hall, often via a single shared concourse. There are no airside transfer corridors; anyone arriving from outside Schengen (e.g. a UK or non-EU charter) must clear passport control and collect bags before rechecking in, effectively exiting and re-entering the terminal.

What happens if I miss my connection at KGS?
