Tips for 50 min Connections
Confirm your bags are checked through, as TSR has limited automated baggage transfer systems typical of larger hubs.
Arrive at your connecting gate early since gate changes are announced verbally and on small overhead screens with little advance notice.
If arriving on a non-Schengen flight, budget extra time for passport control before you can reach the departures side.
Wizz Air's base operations mean many flights depart in tight morning and evening banks, so lines can bunch up during peak waves.
Since there are no lounges or extensive amenities, plan to relax at the small café near the gates during longer layovers.

High risk
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, so all passengers move through a single departures hall, security checkpoint, and gate area on foot. Passengers arriving from non-Schengen destinations (e.g. UK) pass through passport control, while intra-Schengen arrivals do not require re-screening for security in most cases.
