Tips for 30 min 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.

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.
