AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Because SVQ is a single small terminal, walking distances are short even for tight connections.
If your itinerary includes a non-Schengen flight (like a UK route), budget extra time for passport control and security.
Flight frequency here is low, so a missed connection could mean a multi-hour or overnight wait for the next flight.
Signage is in Spanish and English but the terminal is compact enough that it's hard to get lost.
Avoid tight connections around peak morning and early evening departure banks when queues briefly build up.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
SVQ has a single terminal building with all gates accessible by a short walk, so there is no inter-terminal transit system. Passengers arriving from Schengen flights and continuing to another Schengen flight typically don't need to re-clear security, but connections involving non-Schengen flights (UK, Morocco, etc.) require passport control and a security re-screen.
