AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Almost all traffic is Aerolíneas Argentinas flights to Buenos Aires, so genuine connections at BHI itself are rare — most travelers reconnect at Aeroparque or Ezeiza instead.
Check-in counters and the security checkpoint are steps apart, so arriving 45 minutes before departure is usually more than sufficient.
There is no jet bridge; boarding is via stairs onto the tarmac, so allow a few extra minutes if weather requires shelter or slower boarding.
The terminal has limited food and shopping options, so bring your own snacks if you have a long layover.
If flying onward internationally, know that BHI itself has essentially no international service, so any international leg will require a connection through Buenos Aires.

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is a single small terminal building with check-in, a compact security checkpoint, and gates all within the same open hall. Passengers walk directly from check-in to the gate area in under five minutes, and there is no airside train, shuttle, or inter-terminal transfer of any kind.
