Same-day Turn at UIO (Quito)
Has anyone recently completed a same-day turn in Quito?
Is it similar to SJU and PTY, where you can hang out at the arrival gate if you are on the same plan that returns to the Miami within the hour?

I haven't done it, but have looked into it. IIRC the AA flights met the MCT and would work regardless.
What airline are you looking at in and out?

It is not like PTY - you cannot stay at the arrival gate. There is an international transit area, but I haven't used it so I can't really comment.
If you haven't already, you should review the passengers in transit section of UIO's website.

I did a same-day turn in UIO last year. I had a few hours so I ended up going through immigration and customs.
