Tips for 45 min Connections
Budget extra time if arriving internationally, since immigration and customs at BEL can be slow due to limited staffing.
Domestic-to-domestic connections are straightforward if your bags are checked through, as gates are close together in the single terminal.
Signage can be inconsistent, so confirm your gate at the departures board rather than relying on your boarding pass alone.
Avoid tight connections during early morning or early evening banks when Azul and GOL flights cluster and lines build up quickly.
If your flight requires a walk across the tarmac to a remote stand, allow a few extra minutes versus a jet-bridge gate.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one terminal building, so all connections happen via walking through a shared departures hall and a single set of gate corridors. Passengers arriving internationally must clear immigration and customs before re-entering the domestic side, which adds meaningful time even though the physical distance is short.
