1 hour clears the 50-minute international minimum connection time at Stuttgart, but you should still head directly to your gate. All terminals sit in a single connected building arranged in a horseshoe shape around the central area, so passengers walk directly between gates with no shuttle or train required. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen flights (e.g., from the UK or intercontinental routes) must clear passport control and sometimes a secondary security check before entering the Schengen-only zones.

What happens if I miss my connection at STR?
If you miss a connection, head to the nearest Lufthansa or airline service desk in the terminal, as Stuttgart has limited rebooking staff compared to major hubs and options may require routing through Frankfurt or Munich.
