AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Check your gate assignment as soon as you land since the terminal is small but gates can be at opposite ends of the single pier.
If connecting from a Schengen to a non-Schengen flight, budget extra time for the passport control queue, which can back up during peak morning and evening banks.
Because NAP has limited daily frequencies on most routes, a missed connection here can mean a multi-hour or overnight wait for the next flight.
Baggage claim and check-in areas are close together, making bag re-check for separate tickets relatively quick compared to larger hubs.
Avoid tight connections around 7-9am and 5-8pm, when charter and low-cost carrier banks cluster and lines lengthen.

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.
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.
