Tips for 1¼ hr Connections
Build in extra buffer time due to Cuzco's frequent morning fog, which can delay or cancel early flights.
If connecting to or from La Paz, allow extra time for immigration processing since it is one of the few international routes here.
The terminal is small enough that gate-to-gate walks rarely take more than 10 minutes.
Avoid checking bags separately if possible, as baggage handling can be slow during peak morning departure banks.
Confirm your flight status the night before, as altitude and wind conditions frequently cause schedule shifts.

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 are made on foot with no shuttle or train required. Passengers arriving on international flights (mainly from La Paz, Bolivia) must clear immigration and collect bags before re-checking in, while domestic-to-domestic passengers usually just walk between gate areas after a single security screening.
