Can I fly into a country and leave on the same plane?
I would like to visit Belarus for some time but they have a 5-day maximum stay (visa free) so I was hoping I could fly from Minsk (Belarus) to Vilnius (Lithuania) go through immigration and then run to the check-in counter, back through security, immigration and back to the plane that brought me.
The flights are about an hour apart. Would I have enough time?
Thanks!

I doubt it - it’s highly likely checkin and/or the gate will have closed by the time you get there

Can you stay on the same plane for a connecting flight?
Once you're in the plane, the crew will tell you if you have to get off and then get in again or not - depends if they have to clean up the plane and if the crew has to be changed. But the plane will leave from the same gate, you don't have to go anywhere else.Can you fly into one city and leave from another?

Answer 2
1) Visa free for Belarus (only when flying into Minsk) is now 30 days.
2) Even though Vilnius is a small airport, going out and back in passport control (you will also need to go through security again) will take too long as arrivals and departures are in separate buildings and levels.
TIP: If you are leaving Vilnius airport in a hurry, you can pay to go through fast track at security (off to the left). It costs 5 euro and can be billed to your phone or you can use cash/card at kiosk. Almost no one ever uses it, so you will likely be the only one.
