Summer banks are the real DBV product — winter is a different airport
Peak-summer DBV is a leisure crush; shoulder/winter DBV is compact — pad for the season you actually fly.
C for departures, B for arrivals — re-check Schengen vs non-Schengen
Modern Terminal C departures + B arrivals — easy layout, hard peaks when UK/DE/FR leisure banks stack.
Airside café / duty-free cluster — not a food hall
Café and retail cover the basics — budget for peak prices and August queues.
DBV · Konavle’s peak-summer leisure gateway at Čilipi: Terminal C departures, Croatia’s longest runway, three floor-3 lounges with Priority Pass, Platanus or Libertas into Dubrovnik — modern when calm, easy to underestimate in July and August.
TGD · Podgorica's single 2006 terminal is small, quick to navigate and close to the capital, but it is over capacity at summer peaks since the Wizz Air base opened, with no jet bridges, one airside café and only bookable VIP rooms instead of a card lounge.
