AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Don't book tight connections at MAH—it's a leisure airport built for direct flights, not transfers.
If your itinerary requires a connection, check whether you must reclaim and recheck baggage, as through-check agreements are limited.
Security lines can spike sharply during peak summer morning and early evening charter departure banks.
Passport control adds time for UK and other non-Schengen connections since Menorca has no dedicated transfer lane.
Confirm with your airline in advance whether MAH even supports interline connections, as many low-cost and charter carriers do not.
