Can I make a 35 minutes connection at SKG on an international flight?
35 minutes is below the 50-minute international MCT at Makedonia. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. SKG has one compact terminal building with a single set of gates split by a passport control checkpoint separating Schengen and non-Schengen zones. Passengers connecting between a Schengen and non-Schengen flight must clear passport control on foot, a short walk of just a few minutes, though queues can build during peak summer charter waves.
How much time do I need for a layover at SKG?
We recommend at least 45 minutes for a comfortable connection at Makedonia. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 10 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 10 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at SKG?
If you miss a connection, head to the Aegean Airlines or relevant airline's transfer desk near the check-in area, as SKG has limited staff and infrequent onward flights compared to major hubs, so rebooking options may involve waiting several hours or a next-day flight.
