AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
There is no true airside transfer process, so budget time to collect bags, exit, and re-check in for a separate ticket.
Security screening is a single checkpoint that can back up quickly during Wizz Air's morning and evening bank of departures.
Avoid booking separate tickets with short layovers since missed connections are not protected and rebooking options are limited.
The terminal is small enough that gate walks take only a few minutes, so the real time pressure is at check-in and security, not transit.
If arriving internationally and connecting onward, expect to pass through Kosovo border control even for a short layover.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
The entire airport is a single small terminal building with one level for departures and arrivals, so passengers walk everywhere. There is no airside transfer desk or dedicated transit corridor, so almost all 'connecting' passengers must exit through arrivals, re-enter departures, and pass security screening again. Gate-to-gate walking is under 5 minutes in nearly all cases.
