Tips for 30 min Connections
Nearly all traffic is domestic Widerøe flights, so there is effectively no international connection scenario to worry about here.
The terminal is tiny, so even a 20-minute connection is generally physically achievable if both flights are on time.
Flight frequency is low, so a missed connection can mean waiting many hours or overnight for the next Widerøe service.
Bags are typically checked through on connecting itineraries, but confirm at check-in given the airport's small ground handling team.
There is minimal food or shopping available, so plan meals before arriving if you have a long layover.
