AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Because the terminal is tiny, walking distance is never the bottleneck — immigration and baggage recheck are.
If arriving from the US, budget extra time for the immigration line, which can back up when multiple flights land together.
There are limited food and shopping options past security, so don't expect much to do during a long layover.
Domestic-to-domestic connections on the same airline are usually smooth since gate agents are used to handling tight regional schedules.
Confirm your connection is even scheduled through CUU rather than a same-day separate ticket, since few carriers formally interline here.

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 only one terminal building, so all gates are reached on foot within a few minutes. Passengers connecting from an international arrival (typically from the US) must clear Mexican immigration and customs, collect and recheck bags, and then re-enter the single security checkpoint before reaching domestic gates.
