Tips for 45 min Connections
Treat any connection here as a full re-check-in, not an airside transfer, since bags must be reclaimed and rechecked.
Flight schedules are limited to a couple of daily departures to Jakarta and Semarang, so a missed connection can mean waiting until the next day.
Arrive early for your onward check-in counter to open, as staffing is minimal outside scheduled departure windows.
There is no international service, so plan any onward international travel through Jakarta or Surabaya instead.
Confirm your bags are tagged only to Pangkalan Bun if buying separate tickets, since there is no interline baggage system here.
Busyness — Connection Risk

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
The entire airport is one small building, so passengers walk from the arrival gate to the single baggage claim and check-in hall in under five minutes. There is no airside transfer process — connecting passengers must exit, collect any checked luggage, and re-check in for the next domestic flight, effectively starting over each time.
