anyone know MEX DF airport? terminal ?

I'm planning a trip to Oaxaca City later this month. I will fly to MEX from La Paz, arrive at terminal 2, then leave from terminal 1 for my final destination.
I will have 2 hrs 10 minutes, assuming the first flight arrives on time. is this enough time for a newbie to the airport to get from one terminal to the other, get checked in (can't pre-print boarding pass), and get on the plane?
my internet search shows ticketed passengers can ride a tram with 'hand baggage'...would that include wheeled carry on's? am I a ticketed passenger with my reservation conirmation number?

Send a u2u to Nomad 'Eli'. She's a frequent flyer on this route.

now WHY didn't I think o that! thanks.
and now it looks like Vivaaerobus requires check in 2 hrs prior to flight. that's completed check in, not arrive at airport, so the question is moot.

I have flown in and out of Mexico City dozens of times including just a day ago. Two hours gives you enough time to walk the airport a couple of times...

Its smaller than San Diego's airport.

You have to take the shuttle from terminal one to terminal two. Its a big distance and I don't think they let you walk.

It is a very well laid out airport and everyone is more than helpful. Vivaaerobus always says two hours for check in, but with a boarding pass printed on your computer, this can be avoided as you go directly to the boarding gate with that pass.
