Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Check the winter schedule

Few winter flights; check-in closes 40 min before departure.

From late October to late March only three airlines fly from Ohrid: Wizz Air to Dortmund, Memmingen and Basel-Mulhouse on set weekdays, Chair Airlines to Zurich on Saturdays, and Edelweiss to Zurich over the holidays. Check-in counters may open 180 minutes before departure and close 40 minutes before.

Terminal

One small, newly rebuilt terminal

One rebuilt terminal; every flight goes through passport control.

Check-in, security, passport control and the gates are all in one building, and they were enlarged in a rebuild finished in September 2026. North Macedonia is outside the EU and Schengen, so every departure goes through passport control.

Food

Only snack bars

Snack bars landside and airside, plus ATU Duty Free.

The airport lists a snack bar in the arrivals hall and a small snack bar in departures after passport control and security, plus a seasonal Summer Bar in front of the terminal. The ATU Duty Free shop is on the departures floor after passport control.

Status

Priority Pass gets you into Primeclass

Primeclass lounge: Priority Pass or €45 entrance fee.

The Primeclass CIP Lounge is in the VIP area in a separate building outside the terminal. Priority Pass lists it, with a maximum stay of 3 hours and access subject to space. Without a membership, the airport lists a €45 entrance fee.

Live conditions
