AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Check whether your connection crosses the Schengen/non-Schengen line, as this adds a mandatory passport control step even within the same terminal.
In peak summer months (June-September), allow extra time as the single terminal gets extremely crowded with charter and holiday traffic.
If your flight uses a remote stand, budget an extra 10-15 minutes for the bus transfer to the terminal.
Signage is decent but queues at passport control can be long during morning and early evening banks of UK and Nordic departures.
Vueling passengers connecting to another Vueling flight generally have the smoothest experience since gates cluster together in the same modules.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
All operations run through one large terminal divided into modules (A, B, C, D) connected by long indoor corridors, so most passengers simply walk between gates. Some low-cost and charter flights use remote stands requiring an apron bus, which adds time; passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must also pass through a passport control checkpoint located between modules.
