Tips for 40 min Connections
Confirm your connecting flight actually operates that day, since many routes to Palau run only a few times per week.
There is no airside transit area, so you must exit through immigration and re-enter through check-in and security for any onward flight.
Arrive well before scheduled departure since check-in counters close early and staffing is minimal outside of scheduled flight banks.
Bring cash for any small purchases, as the terminal has very limited services while you wait.
If your flight is delayed, ask staff immediately about rebooking, as alternative flights may not run for days.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
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
There is only one small terminal building, so all passengers—arriving or departing—pass through the same gate area and check-in hall on foot. There are no trains, shuttles, or airside transfers of any kind, and re-screening is universal since there is no separate sterile connection corridor.
