Can I make a 1 hour connection at GDL on an international flight?
1 hour is below the 90-minute international MCT at Don Miguel Y Hidalgo International. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. GDL operates as one terminal building with domestic and international sections connected by a walkable concourse, so there is no shuttle or train system needed. International arrivals must pass through immigration (INM) and customs before entering the main terminal, and if connecting onward, checked bags must be reclaimed and rechecked since Mexico does not offer interline baggage transfer for international-to-domestic connections. Passengers connecting domestic-to-domestic simply walk airside without re-clearing security in most cases, though random rescreening can occur.

We recommend at least 50 minutes for a comfortable connection at Don Miguel Y Hidalgo International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 15 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 15 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at GDL?
