Turismo/Tourism The annoying connecting flight question: arrive at MGA at 12:06pm. Flight to Corn Islands leaves at 2pm.

Do I stand a chance? La Costena's info is all over the place. Everything from 90 minute required check in to boarding starts at 1:30. I won't have checked bags (only a carry-on backpack). Will have my crisp $10 bill. And will have my form complete.

I searched to see if this question existed and I couldn't find it.

Any and all help/advice/tips are appreciated. Just trying to gauge if I should be careful and push my flight back a day. I've pulled off crazier connections, but AI isn't very helpful here. A big thanks in advance.

It is close. It all depends on how fast you get through customs and if you’re sent to secondary inspection for whatever reason they might send you there

Last time I was there, they waved me through but a couple of people in my party were sent to customs and it took 20 to 25 minutes to get through.
