Is OLB easy to connect through?
Olbia Costa Smeralda is a small, single-terminal regional airport serving Sardinia's Costa Smeralda coast, built for seasonal leisure traffic rather than transfers. Connections are rare here since almost all passengers are starting or ending their trip, but the compact layout makes any transfer you do need to make physically easy. There is only one terminal building with departures upstairs and arrivals downstairs, so all connections are made on foot within a few minutes. Passengers connecting from a non-Schengen flight (e.g., from the UK) to a Schengen flight, or vice versa, must clear passport control, which is the main variable in transfer time.
