We recommend at least 40 minutes for a comfortable connection at Capodichino. The minimum connection time is 30 minutes for schengen flights and 50 minutes for non-schengen flights. Transit between terminals takes up to 12 minutes.

Schengen-to-Schengen: 30 min. Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 40 min. Non-Schengen-to-Schengen: 45 min. Non-Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 50 min. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell at Capodichino.

Capodichino is a small, single-terminal airport built for point-to-point leisure traffic, not hub connections, so anyone transiting typically faces short walks but also thin schedules and infrequent same-day backup flights. Connections are physically easy since everything is under one roof, but the airport's limited flight frequency makes misconnections costly. NAP has one compact terminal building, so all connections are made on foot with no shuttle or train required. Passengers moving between a Schengen flight and a non-Schengen flight (e.g., to/from the UK or outside the EU) pass through a passport control checkpoint separating the two zones, which is the main source of delay.

This matches the bare domestic-domestic MCT and leaves no margin for peak security or gate changes. See full 30 min guide →
