Immigration and check-in queues spike hard 90 minutes before LATAM/Copa banks.

Domestic flights can get away with 90 minutes; international cannot. Avoid 05:30–07:30 and 18:00–20:00 peaks if possible.

Everything is airside after a single security checkpoint — no long walks or train rides.

Domestic and international gates share the same post-security area; just follow the gate numbers and ignore ‘terminal’ language on apps.

Post-security food is basic café fare and overpriced; better options sit landside.

If you have a long layover, clear immigration, eat in the city-side restaurants, then re-clear security — the terminal is small enough that this is realistic.

Boards lag; real-time gate and delay info is more reliable via airline chat or the official DINAC flight status page.

Paranair and LATAM both run active WhatsApp support that often knows gate changes before the screens update.
