Tips for 2 hr Connections
Self-connections are rare at WRO since it's a low-frequency regional airport, so build in extra buffer if your itinerary isn't on a single ticket.
If connecting from a non-Schengen flight like a UK Ryanair or Wizz Air route, expect a passport control queue before reaching the departure gates.
The terminal is compact enough to walk gate-to-gate in under 10 minutes, so physical distance is rarely the bottleneck here.
Check the departure boards carefully as gate assignments can be announced late for smaller carriers.
Given limited daily flights on many routes, a missed connection can mean waiting until the next day, so confirm minimum connection times with your airline in advance.

Getting Between Concourses
WRO has a single small terminal with all gates, check-in, and arrivals under one roof, so there is no shuttle or train system. Passengers connecting from a non-Schengen flight (e.g. UK) to a Schengen flight must clear passport control and in some cases undergo re-screening, but the walk itself is only a few minutes.
