Tips for 30 min Connections
Check whether your connection crosses the Schengen border, as that determines if you'll face a passport control queue.
The terminal is small enough that gate-to-gate walks rarely exceed 10-15 minutes, even at the far ends of the piers.
Summer months bring heavy leisure traffic and longer security and passport lines, so build in extra buffer during peak season.
There is no airside train or shuttle, so any signage directing you to a bus is for a remote stand, not a terminal transfer.
easyJet and other low-cost carriers often use remote gates requiring a short bus ride to the aircraft, which adds a few minutes not reflected in walking distances alone.

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
All gates sit within one connected terminal building along two piers, so passengers simply walk between them—there are no shuttles or trains. Connections between a Schengen and a non-Schengen flight require passing through passport control, which is the main time variable, while pure Schengen-to-Schengen transfers can avoid it entirely if already airside.
