Tips for 2 hr Connections
Double-check that your itinerary is even bookable as a connection, since PSR has very few same-day flight pairings.
There is no dedicated transit area, so you'll pass through the same small arrivals/departures hall regardless of your route.
If connecting from a non-Schengen flight, budget extra time for passport control and the single small security checkpoint.
Amenities are minimal — grab food or use facilities in the main hall before heading to your gate, as gate-side options are limited.
Because flight frequency is low, a missed connection here can mean waiting until the next day for a rebooked flight.

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 single-story terminal building, so passengers simply walk from arrivals to the departure gates. There is no airside train, shuttle, or separate terminal to navigate, and security re-screening is only required if arriving from outside the Schengen area.
