We recommend at least 1 hour for a comfortable connection at Yangon International. The minimum connection time is 45 minutes for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights. Transit between terminals takes up to 15 minutes.

Domestic-to-Domestic: 45 min. Domestic-to-International: 60 min. International-to-Domestic: 75 min. International-to-International: 60 min. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell at Yangon International.

Yangon International is a compact single-terminal airport with domestic and international operations under one roof, making connections relatively straightforward but limited by slow processing and modest infrastructure. Immigration and security queues, rather than distance, are the main risk for tight connections. It works well as a gateway for Myanmar domestic routes feeding into regional international flights. All operations run through one main terminal building, with domestic and international check-in and gate areas connected by a short indoor walkway. Passengers connecting from international to domestic (or vice versa) must pass through immigration/customs and a re-screening checkpoint, which is the main time cost rather than physical distance. There are no trains or shuttles needed since everything is walkable in under 15 minutes.

30 minutes rarely allows time to clear customs or re-screening if switching between domestic and international flights. See full 30 min guide →

This aligns with the domestic-domestic MCT, so it's workable but leaves no margin for delays. See full 45 min guide →

60 minutes meets the domestic-international and international-international MCTs comfortably under normal conditions. See full 1 hr guide →

This matches the international-to-domestic MCT, giving enough time to clear immigration and recheck bags. See full 1¼ hr guide →
