North Kiss & Fly + South Parking
Summer banks are the real SPU product — winter is a different airport
Peak-summer SPU is a leisure crush; shoulder/winter SPU is compact — pad for the season you actually fly.
One terminal, no jet bridges — follow Schengen vs non-Schengen holds
Single expanded terminal with upstairs Business Lounge — easy layout, hard peaks when leisure banks stack.
Kupola + café cluster — not a food hall
Kupola / Ikar / Jug / Promenade / Sjever cover the basics — budget for café prices and peak queues.
