Tips for 35 min Connections
Confirm your connecting flight's status early, since QRO has far fewer daily departures than major Mexican hubs like MEX or GDL.
Keep boarding passes and passport handy, as international arrivals must clear immigration and customs before reconnecting to a domestic flight.
Arrive at your gate well before boarding closes, since gate agents at this smaller airport may close doors earlier than at large hubs.
If flying VivaAerobus or Volaris, double-check whether your itinerary requires re-checking bags, as through-checking isn't guaranteed on separately booked tickets.
Expect a quiet, easy-to-navigate terminal with short walking distances, so extra buffer time is more about flight frequency than airport size.

Getting Between Concourses
All operations — domestic and international — run through a single compact terminal building, so passengers simply walk between gates.
