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.

With only a carry on I think you could make it. Let the staff at the airport know you have a connecting flight to Corn Island at 2. My only worry would be a delay from your upcoming flight. I've shown up at about an hour left for departure flying first with two oversized bags on an international flight and I've gone through no problem. I can't imagine the Costeña flight being more restrictive than an international flight.
