Tips for 45 min Connections
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.
Busyness — Connection Risk

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
MAH has a single compact terminal building, so all gates are reachable on foot within a few minutes. There is no airside transfer corridor, meaning passengers connecting between flights—especially between Schengen and non-Schengen services like UK routes—must pass through arrivals, collect bags if needed, and go back through security screening.
