quickFacts:
  - >-
    Single compact terminal; peak-summer chaos is the real constraint, not
    walking distance
  - >-
    Operated by Fraport Greece; heavily seasonal (Jun–Sep is a different
    airport)
  - Schengen airport — non-Schengen flows are limited and can bottleneck
  - 'No jet bridges: bus or apron walk to most aircraft'
  - ~4 km to Mykonos Town (Chora); taxis and pre-booked transfers dominate
  - >-
    Wind and slot pressure regularly delay late-afternoon departures in high
    season
bentoTips:
  - label: Timing
    title: Treat summer JMK like a major hub
    detail: >-
      Worst crush is mid-morning and late afternoon when multiple low-cost and
      charter banks overlap — off-season 90 minutes is usually enough.
    summary: >-
      In Jun–Sep, arrive 2.5–3 hours before intra-Schengen flights; security and
      check-in queues routinely exceed 60–90 minutes.
    category: timing
  - label: Terminal
    title: 'One terminal, two moods'
    detail: >-
      Departures upstairs/flow is linear; do not count on finding quiet space
      near gates once three flights board at once.
    summary: >-
      Everything is in one building — landside is tiny; airside gets packed
      fast, so clear security then claim a seat immediately.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Eat before security or accept limited choice
    detail: >-
      If you need a proper sit-down or dietary-specific food, do it in Chora; do
      not plan a leisurely airside lunch in August.
    summary: >-
      Airside food is basic café/snack fare with long lines at peak — grab a
      real meal in town or landside if you have time.
    category: food
  - label: Live checks
    title: Watch wind and afternoon banks
    detail: >-
      Build buffer before ferries or club reservations; a 40-minute airborne hop
      can still mean a 2-hour gate slip.
    summary: >-
      Check flight status and taxi ETA the same morning — Meltemi winds and
      apron congestion cause cascading delays after ~15:00.

Mykonos, Greece · Europe
