Flight connections || Estimated time between terminals

The time required for connecting flights varies depending on the route, the airline and whether baggage needs to be picked up for recheck-in, or whether it has been checked through to its final destination on its first leg of travel (additional information for passengers who already have their boarding pass and baggage checked to destination). Some airlines carry out mandatory security checks on passengers arriving from other flights, such as American Airlines, El-Al and Latam.

Transfer passengers, whose connecting flights depart from a different terminal than the one they are arriving in, should also be aware of approximate transfer times between terminals and how to get to them in the most expeditious manner.
If you need to change from one terminal to another, the following table shows an estimate of the times and means of transportation between terminals that you can use. /p>
