Tips for 50 min Connections
Expect to reclaim your bags and re-check in for the next flight, as few carriers here offer interline baggage transfer.
The terminal is small enough to walk end-to-end in under ten minutes, so physical distance is rarely the bottleneck.
Passport control queues for non-Schengen arrivals can be the slowest part of a connection, especially in the morning and evening peaks.
Wizz Air operates a base here but largely runs standalone routes, so tight connections on the same airline are not guaranteed to be protected.
Confirm whether your itinerary is a single ticket, since separately booked flights offer no rebooking protection if you misconnect.

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 terminal building, so all passengers move between arrivals, departures, and gates on foot within the same compact space. There is no train or shuttle system, and non-Schengen arrivals must clear passport control before any onward international connection, effectively requiring a re-entry through security and immigration.
