Tips for 45 min Connections
Confirm your connection is even possible in advance — TAE has limited daily flights, so missing one may mean waiting until the next day.
Since the terminal is single and compact, you won't need long transit times, but international arrivals should budget extra time for immigration processing.
There are few dining or lounge options, so don't expect much to do during a long layover.
Double-check with your airline whether a connecting itinerary through TAE is officially ticketed, as many routes here are point-to-point only.
Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible, as staff may direct you through combined domestic/international queues depending on the flight.
