The answer depends on the airport layout, terminals, route, international entry procedures and how your flights are arranged.<\/p><h2>Connections inside the same secure area<\/h2><p>If your arrival gate and departure gate are connected airside, you may be able to walk or use an airside transfer system without leaving the secure area. Follow signs for Connections or Transfers.<\/p><h2>Changing terminals can change the process<\/h2><p>Some terminals are connected after security and others are not. A terminal change can therefore require leaving the secure area and passing through a security checkpoint again.<\/p><h2>International connections<\/h2><p>International itineraries can involve immigration, passport control, customs, baggage procedures or another security screening. Requirements vary by country, airport and itinerary, so follow the official transfer instructions for your arrival airport.<\/p><h2>Do I need to collect my checked bag?<\/h2><p>That depends on the itinerary and local procedures. Some bags are checked through to the final destination, while other connections require collection and recheck. Confirm the baggage instructions with the airline.<\/p><h2>What if my connecting gate is in another terminal?<\/h2><p>Check the airport map and signs for the correct transfer route. Airports may use walkways, trains or buses, and some routes operate inside security while others do not.<\/p><h2>Allow for the complete transfer process<\/h2><p>When evaluating a connection, consider more than walking time. Immigration, customs, baggage, terminal transfers and security screening can all affect how long it takes to reach the next gate.<\/p><h2>Check your gate again after the transfer<\/h2><p>Connecting gates can change while you travel. Once you reach the departure area, confirm the latest flight status, terminal and gate with the operating airline and airport displays.<\/p><p><a class=\"wmg-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/\">Check Your Connecting Flight<\/a><\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-211","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/211","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/211\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
