Can I make a 1½ hours connection at YIP on an international flight?
1½ hours clears the 45-minute international minimum connection time at Willow Run, but you should still head directly to your gate. There is a single small terminal building used for charter and general aviation traffic, with cargo operations (notably Kalitta Air) handled on a separate ramp area. Any movement between these areas is a short walk or a quick vehicle ride on the apron, and there is no passenger security re-screening infrastructure in the way major hubs have it.
How much time do I need for a layover at YIP?
We recommend at least 40 minutes for a comfortable connection at Willow Run. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 5 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 5 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at YIP?
Because there is no scheduled commercial passenger network at YIP, missed connections are handled directly by the charter operator or cargo logistics company, not through standard airline rebooking desks.
