Can I make a 2 hours connection at KWI on an international flight?
2 hours clears the 90-minute international minimum connection time at Kuwait International, but you should still head directly to your gate. Passengers connecting within Terminal 2 can walk between gates in its single large concourse, but moving to or from Terminal 4 (Jazeera Airways) or the older Terminal 1 requires a landside or airside shuttle bus and re-clearing security, and in many cases immigration as well. There is no unified sterile transit corridor linking all three terminals, so inter-terminal connections should be treated as a full re-entry process rather than a simple walk.
How much time do I need for a layover at KWI?

What happens if I miss my connection at KWI?
If you miss a connection, head to the Kuwait Airways or Jazeera Airways transfer desk in your arrival terminal, as ground staff will rebook onto the next available flight and issue any necessary paperwork for a new boarding pass.
