Tips for 25 min Connections
Podgorica has only a handful of daily flights, so schedules are sparse and misconnections can mean a long wait for the next departure.
There is no dedicated transfer desk, so if you're checked through to a connecting flight, follow signage to the single departures hall after arrival.
Passport control can be slow if a wide-body or two flights land at once, so budget extra time on international arrivals.
The terminal is small enough that once through security you can see nearly every gate, making last-minute gate changes easy to catch.
Food and shopping options are very limited, so don't count on a long layover being pleasant — plan accordingly.

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 small terminal building with a handful of gates arranged along a single concourse, so all transfers are done on foot. There is no shuttle or train system, and non-Schengen arrivals must pass through passport control before reaching the departure gates, which can add a short queue.
