Terminals / concourses: Domestic and Schengen gates, Non-Schengen gates

Getting between them: Walking inside the terminal (about 5 minutes end to end)

Trondheim has one terminal for all flights, about 5 minutes' walk end to end. After the central security checkpoint you reach the departure area for domestic and Schengen flights; a short corridor past passport control leads to the non-Schengen gates. With a boarding pass for the onward flight and bags checked through, you stay in the transit area.

Arriving on an international flight and connecting to a domestic one, you collect your bags, check them in again and go through security; from outside the Schengen area you leave the transit area even with hand luggage only.

  • Domestic or Schengen onward connections take about 10 minutes, non-Schengen about 15; an international-to-domestic connection with bag recheck about 35 minutes.

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.
