Los Cabos International Airport

Domestic can look short while U.S./Canada leisure banks stretch curb-to-gate — do not copy a quiet Tuesday onto a Saturday LAX bank.

Aim ~2 hours for straightforward domestic hops; 2.5–3 hours for U.S. or Canada when winter-charter and Saturday turn banks stack check-in, security, and the long Terminal 2 concourse walk. Spring-break and year-end weeks feel worse than a quiet midweek midday.

T1 vs T2 do not share one sterile hall — check the terminal letter before the curb.

Terminal 1 handles most domestic plus some international; Terminal 2 is the main U.S./Canada/international building (including the former Terminal 3 wing now branded as part of T2). Confirm the terminal on the boarding pass before drop-off; landside walks between T1 and T2 with bags are longer than they look on a map.

Strongest casual density is airside Terminal 2; do not plan on destination dining.

Terminal 2’s airside food court and duty-free corridor are where most international passengers actually eat; Terminal 1 is smaller with a landside/airside snack set. Prices track resort-airport norms — if you have Priority Pass, the VIP Lounge snack/drink pattern usually beats a full sit-down for a short wait.

Two Priority Pass VIP Lounges (T1 + T2); redeem after security in the correct building.

Redeem Priority Pass / LoungeKey at the VIP Lounge in the terminal you are actually departing. Priority Pass currently lists Terminal 1 08:00–20:00 and Terminal 2 08:00–18:00 with a 3-hour max stay — desk hours can flex with the last departure. Paid walk-up day entry is often sold when seats remain; confirm the live price at the desk rather than trusting a blog quote.
