AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Check whether your connecting flight departs from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before you land, since they are physically separate buildings.
If connecting between terminals, budget at least 45-60 minutes for the shuttle bus ride plus re-screening, well beyond the airport's small footprint suggests.
Passengers arriving from outside Schengen must clear passport control in Terminal 1 before reaching onward Schengen gates, so factor in queue time.
Within Terminal 1 the halls are close together and walkable in a few minutes, making same-terminal Schengen connections relatively easy.
Flight frequencies to many destinations are limited, so a missed connection can mean a long wait or overnight delay rather than a quick rebooking.

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Within Terminal 1, the halls are linked by short airside corridors, but passengers arriving from non-Schengen countries must clear passport control before reaching the Schengen side. Moving between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 requires exiting security, taking a landside shuttle bus (running every 10-15 minutes, about a 5-10 minute ride), and re-clearing security on the other side.

Can I make a 2 hours connection at MRS on an international flight?

2 hours clears the 75-minute international minimum connection time at Provence, but you should still head directly to your gate. Within Terminal 1, the halls are linked by short airside corridors, but passengers arriving from non-Schengen countries must clear passport control before reaching the Schengen side. Moving between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 requires exiting security, taking a landside shuttle bus (running every 10-15 minutes, about a 5-10 minute ride), and re-clearing security on the other side.

How much time do I need for a layover at MRS?

We recommend at least 1 hour for a comfortable connection at Provence. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 10 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 25 minutes).

What happens if I miss my connection at MRS?

Head to your airline's ticket desk or customer service counter in the departing terminal, as MRS has limited same-day reprotection options given its lower flight frequencies compared to major hubs.
