Tips for 30 min Connections
Build in extra time for immigration and customs if arriving internationally before any onward domestic connection, since this queue can be the biggest bottleneck.
Keep carry-on bags accessible, as the single security checkpoint can back up heavily during the midmorning and late-afternoon charter flight waves.
Confirm your connection is even scheduled through this airport, since most itineraries here are point-to-point rather than true connections.
Aeromexico offers the most realistic connections onward to Mexico City and other domestic points, so allow generous buffer time given limited flight frequency.
There are no interterminal trains or shuttles needed—everything is a short walk—but processing time, not distance, is what eats your buffer.

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 passengers walk between gates with no trains, buses, or shuttles required. International arrivals must clear Mexican immigration and customs before reconnecting to any onward flight, and all passengers are re-screened at a single central security checkpoint before entering the gate area.
