TIA · Albania’s single-terminal LCC powerhouse at Rinas: Wizz and Ryanair set the tempo, non-Schengen passport control sits after security, and the city ride is a cheap 24/7 bus or a yellow official taxi.
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.

Build buffer for Wizz/Ryanair banks and passport control
Non-Schengen passport control sits after security — morning and Sunday LCC banks feel like a mini-hub, not a sleepy regional field.
One expanding terminal — learn airside after passport control
Compact single building: check-in and security landside, then passport control into one airside hall with retail, the lounge, and the gates.
Eat or buy water before security when the hall is packed
Airside F&B covers cafés, bars, and duty free — fine for a snack, thinner when three Wizz flights board at once.

Desks close 30 minutes before departure
Check-in runs from 120 to 30 minutes before departure; aim to arrive 2 hours ahead.
One small terminal, no jet bridges
Check-in, bag-size control, passport control, security, then a walk or bus to the plane.
One bakery café airside
Coffe Cake Bakery between gates 4 and 5 is the main airside option.
