💡 Connection Tips
No customs/immigration required for connections - bags checked through to final destination. Gate numbers starting with 1 are in Terminal 1, starting with 2 are in Terminal 2. Double security check required for US flights. Very long walking distances in T2 with limited functioning moving walkways - allow extra time. Copa operates from both terminals but most international flights from T2. US carriers (American, Delta, United) typically use T1. Terminal connector: airside walkway takes 8 minutes, no rescreening needed when staying airside. Allow extra connection time for terminal changes.
