Can I make a 2½ hours connection at TLL on an international flight?
2½ hours clears the 45-minute international minimum connection time at Tallinn, but you should still head directly to your gate. 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.

What happens if I miss my connection at TLL?
Head immediately to the airline's transfer or ticket desk in the main terminal, as TLL has no dedicated separate transfer desks for most carriers; because onward flight frequencies are limited, be prepared for the possibility of a same-day or next-day rebooking.
