AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Domestic-to-domestic connections within the same terminal are quick, but always confirm your gate on the departure boards since assignments can change close to boarding.
If connecting to or from the TAP Portugal flight to Lisbon, allow extra time for passport control and the separate international check-in area.
The single security checkpoint can back up during the 6-9am and 5-8pm domestic banks, so arrive at the checkpoint with buffer during these windows.
There are limited dining and lounge options past security, so grab food before or plan on a modest airside café.
Baggage recheck is required for international arrivals connecting onward, as SSA does not offer full interline baggage transfer for all carrier combinations.

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.
All operations run through a single terminal building, so domestic-to-domestic connections are simply a walk between gates along one concourse. International departures use a separate wing with its own check-in and passport control area, requiring an additional walk and screening for passport/customs formalities when transferring to or from an international flight.
