Build buffer for passport control — Serbia is not Schengen
Non-Schengen rules apply on almost every international trip — arrive earlier than a typical EU domestic hop.
One connected complex — still watch T1 vs T2 check-in
Compact compared with mega-hubs, but wrong check-in island still costs you a long walk with bags.
Airside cafés cover a short wait — city food wins a long layover
Adequate airside fuel; Belgrade’s centre is ~25–40 minutes away.

BEG · VINCI-run Air Serbia hub with free city buses, fixed-fare taxi vouchers, and a Priority Pass Business Club by Gate A4 — solid for the Balkans, with full non-Schengen passport control on almost every international trip.
TZL · A small one-terminal airport near Tuzla in north-east Bosnia and Herzegovina and a Wizz Air base, with flights mostly to Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. It is quick and simple but basic: no lounge, three small cafés, paid Wi-Fi, no overnight opening and a bus into Tuzla only every two hours. Sarajevo is about two hours away by shared transfer.
