AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your onward flight is actually scheduled that day, since Mosnov has very low frequency and some routes only operate a few times a week.
There is no dedicated 'connections' desk, so be prepared to collect bags and recheck in at the single check-in counter area.
If arriving from a non-Schengen country like the UK, budget extra time for passport control since staffing can be minimal outside peak charter arrival times.
Security is a single small checkpoint, so lines are almost never long except during peak summer charter departures.
Airport staff are generally very helpful and used to guiding passengers personally since traffic volumes are low.

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.
There is only one small terminal building, so passengers walk from arrivals to departures or to the connecting gate area in just a few minutes. There is no shuttle, train, or bus system since the whole airport is contained in one building. Non-Schengen arrivals may need to reclear through passport control and go back through the single security checkpoint.
