AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Allow extra time for international-to-domestic connections since you must clear immigration and customs before rechecking in for a domestic flight.
Domestic terminal facilities are basic, so grab food or use the restroom before heading through security if you have time.
Flight information displays can be inconsistent, so confirm your gate verbally with airport staff or your airline's ground desk.
Peak congestion occurs in early morning and late afternoon when regional flights bunch together, so build in buffer time then.
If connecting between two Myanmar domestic carriers, note that some require separate check-in counters even within the same terminal.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
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.
