AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Follow the 'Flight Connections' signage right after deplaning rather than heading to arrivals.
If your itinerary shows a single boarding pass through to your final destination, you likely won't need to re-clear immigration.
International-to-international transfers on separate tickets may require a full passport control and re-screening, so budget extra time.
Oman Air's own connecting itineraries are generally the smoothest since staff can guide you directly to the correct pier.
Duty-free and dining options are limited compared to bigger Gulf hubs, so don't expect long layovers to be entertaining.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
MCT operates as one unified terminal building, so most connections are simply a walk along the main concourse between gate piers. A minority of flights use remote stands served by apron buses, which can add 10-15 minutes; there is no train or people mover.
