But say you want to fly on a certain day where direct flight cost a lot more and having a one stop flight cost less. What is the minimum layover time for this?
Example say you are planning to go from nyc whether it's jfk or la guardia and say the first stop is at either charlotte or miami before it then departs to cancun. Would you need minimum 90 minutes layover?
Also when you arrive at charlotte or miami, you would have to get out and then go through the x ray machine again or not? Will have one checked bag and one carry on and a fannypack carry on. Also this means your checked luggage gets moved twice right, or not how they do it?
The thing is if you have to do go through x ray again and have to put your carry on and your personal item with you, wouldn't you not have enough time?
Airlines each have specified minimum connecting times at the airports where they offer connections. The times can vary, depending on the connecting airport, and whether the connection is domestic to domestic; domestic to international; international to domestic; or international to international.
At most U.S. airports when connecting on the same airline domestic to international or domestic to domestic, you will remain airside for the connection, and will not have to go through security again. And checked baggage, if any, would ordinarily be checked through to your final destination.
