Flights for Leipzig

[johnnytapia]

As a matter of interest why ? the visiting different countries and combining it with a good night before the game are the highlights of the trips ,we go straight to the away match and back every other week ,it's great to mix it up a bit

It was tongue in cheek. I’m too old to be worrying I’d miss a connection. Have a great trip.

It needs checking, they are selling the flights, getting to the gate in time is your responsibility.
It's not like the old days, when you could transfer between flights without the need to go through passport control and security

If it’s the same terminal which it probably will be if both flights are with the same airline and you’ve only hand luggage, what’s to stop you just rocking up at the gate of the second flight without going through security? Genuine question. Not trying to be a smartarse.

There are 40 minutes between the op flights, if it arrives on time.
How long does it take,to disembark from a plane, once it stops ?
How long does it take to walk from that plane to passport control and to pass through it ?
Then you have to go through security checks at Copenhagen, that's the rules now.
Then you have to walk to the gate.
All within 40 minutes.
Have you not used an airport in the last year or read the stories throughout Europe and the UK.
There are no internal transfers allowed now.

I was talking generally, not about this specific flight. Just wondering what’s to stop you transferring straight from exit gate to departure gate?

If you are flying from Schengen country to schengen country you should be able to transfer easily enough.

Budget airlines often use different (cheaper) terminals, but the flagship carriers eg KLM, SAS, will allow you to transfer easily enough. I've previously made a 35 minute connection with relative ease. As others have said, if its part of one booking, its the airlines responsibility to get you home if you miss the connection (if its their fault by not getting you there in time).

Looked at Stansted which is fine if a few are going to split the costs ,but I'm paying for me and lad it's at least £60 petrol and probably £60 parking and a 10 hour round drive ,hence why we are doing our random flights out of Liverpool ,
Something else to factor in there is a new housing estate right next to the airport where the residents are charging less than £5 a day to park

£60 petrol are you going on a lawnmower

 

[pendlebury blue]

Manchester to Berlin 6.15am on the Tuesday via Brussels premier inn Berlin. Premier inn Leipzig Wednesday night. Berlin to Manchester via Brussels 18:40 on Thursday

 

[Gingers Dad]

Do they have to?

Serious question

It's the one's that say "self transfer" you have to be careful with. They are effectively two separate flights even if with the same airline
