Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions travelers ask before booking.

What counts as a "tight" layover?

Anything close to the airport's published minimum connection time is considered tight, especially with a terminal change involved.

Is the airline responsible if I miss a connection?

If both flights are on one ticket, generally yes — the airline typically rebooks you at no extra cost.

Should I check a bag on a tight connection?

It's riskier — if you misconnect, your checked bag may not make the same next flight as you.

Do international connections need extra time?

Yes — immigration, customs, and security re-screening can add significant time versus a domestic connection.

What should I do first if I think I'll miss my connection?

Alert a gate agent or flight attendant as early as possible so rebooking can start before you land.
