Confirm T1 vs T2 before you leave
Wrong terminal is the expensive mistake; shuttle beats a landside scramble with bags.
International PP: Gate A8 overnight, A6 until 21:30
Harmony is useless from T1 airside; Copa Club misses late departures.
Avianca Diamond is not Priority Pass
Do not walk to Avianca expecting a Priority Pass scan.
