AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Torp has no dedicated transfer desk, so if you booked separate tickets you must collect bags and re-check in at the main hall.
The single small terminal means security lines rarely take more than 10-15 minutes even at peak times.
Ryanair and Wizz Air don't offer official interline connections here, so build in buffer time for baggage reclaim and re-check-in.
The airport is compact enough that gate walks take only a couple of minutes, so most of your time is spent in queues, not walking.
Check the departure board carefully — flight information is limited and gate numbers can be assigned late.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one terminal building with a single departure hall, so all passengers move on foot between check-in, security, and gates. There is no airside train, shuttle, or bus — the entire terminal can be crossed in a few minutes.
