Querétaro Intercontinental is a small, single-terminal airport built mainly for origin-and-destination traffic rather than connections, so passenger volumes and gate-to-gate distances are modest. Connections are straightforward logistically, but because flight frequencies are low, a missed connection can mean a long wait for the next departure rather than a quick rebooking. All operations — domestic and international — run through a single compact terminal building, so passengers simply walk between gates. International arrivals pass through immigration and customs before reaching the domestic side, and departing international passengers clear a single security and passport control checkpoint near their gate area.
