AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are located within one compact terminal building, reached on foot via a single central departure hall with two short gate piers. There is no shuttle or train — the longest walk from one end of the terminal to the other is under 10 minutes. Passengers connecting from a non-Schengen flight (e.g. UK, or a long-haul arrival) to a Schengen flight must clear passport control and may need to re-clear security if arriving from outside the Schengen security zone.

Is 1 hour 15 min enough for a layover at TLL?

Very comfortable margin, allowing time for a coffee or duty-free stop. See full 1¼ hr guide →

Is 1½ hours enough for a layover at TLL?

More than enough given the airport's small scale and low congestion. See full 1½ hr guide →

Two hours is generous padding, useful mainly as insurance against limited rebooking options if something goes wrong upstream. See full 2 hr guide →

Is 2½ hours enough for a layover at TLL?

Long for this airport's size, but reasonable buffer for infrequent onward flights. See full 2½ hr guide →
