Can I make a 55 minutes connection at ZAG on an international flight?
55 minutes 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.
