When I flew through it in 2006, it was like most other regional Chinese airports where you are dumped into the baggage claim area. You have to claim your bags, go to regular check-in counters for the 2nd flight and then reclear security.

Just got back from 4 weeks of independent travel in China (trip report pending). We took 7 flights (prebooked). Kunming airport was the one airport we had delays, and there were a lot of flight delays the days we were there. We allowed 1 1/2 hours between flights on one occasion and we missed it as the incoming flight was delayed. Our connecting flight was also delayed but not enough. Not a lot of English spoken but we went to connecting flight desk and for $20 more, we got booked on a later flight (also slightly delayed). Lesson learned--allow 3-4 hours between connecting flights and expect anything!
