Tips for 1 hr Connections
Do not book a self-connection at DAD unless you have at least two hours, since the two terminals require a full landside transfer with re-check-in.
If your connection involves crossing from international to domestic (or vice versa), budget extra time for immigration or customs processing which can be slow and unpredictable.
Airport signage and English-language announcements are limited, so confirm your gate and terminal verbally at an information desk if unsure.
There are few dining or lounge options once past security, so eat or buy essentials in the landside terminal before heading through.
Taxis and grab cars wait right outside both terminals if you need to move between them quickly rather than walking with heavy luggage.
Busyness — Connection 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.
Getting Between Concourses
The domestic and international terminals sit adjacent to each other and are connected by a short outdoor or covered walkway, typically a 10-15 minute walk including any curb crossing. There is no airside connector between the two halves, so passengers switching between domestic and international flights must exit through arrivals, walk over, and go through check-in and security again on the other side.
