Terminals / concourses: Terminal 1, Terminal 2

Getting between them: Walking on the public footpath between terminals (about 50 m, 1 minute)

All airlines use both terminals, which are about 50 metres apart and not connected. There is no transfer zone: even within the same terminal you go outside, check in again and go back through security. Since only low-cost airlines fly here, connections are on separate tickets and never guaranteed.

  • Without checked bags the transfer takes 20 to 45 minutes depending on the security queue, but allow at least 2 to 3 hours between flights.

Estimate based on typical times at this airport, not your airline's official minimum connection time. Immigration and security lines change with the time of day and season. On a single ticket, the airline must rebook you if you miss the connection; on separate tickets, it does not.
