Can I make a 4 hours connection at ZAG on an international flight?
4 hours clears the 50-minute international minimum connection time at Zagreb, but you should still head directly to your gate. The single terminal building splits into two piers post-security: one for Schengen flights and one for non-Schengen/international flights. All transfers are done on foot along the terminal concourse, with no trains or shuttles needed. Passengers connecting from non-Schengen to Schengen flights (or vice versa) pass through passport control, while Schengen-to-Schengen transfers skip this step entirely.

If you miss a connection, head to the Croatia Airlines transfer desk or your operating carrier's ticket counter in the main terminal, as ZAG has limited alternative flight frequency so rebooking may involve a wait until the next available service.
