Is 1 hour sufficient to connect from Schengen to non-Schengen at Munich airport?
I’m flying in on American Airlines from Charlotte, NC, to Madrid with a layover in Munich, and have booked two separate flights on Iberia airlines with only a 1 hour connection. We do not have any checked luggage. I’ve read all over the internet that connecting through Munich is a breeze, but every scenario is Terminal 1 to 2 or terminal 2 to 2. Does anyone have experience with terminal 1 to terminal 1? How long does passport control take? Do we have to go through security again?
Note: This is not a duplicate of Is 1½ hours enough for a transit at Munich Airport? as:
- This question states terminal 1 specifically
- The other question does not mention being on separate tickets

Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights Munich?
While Munich airport guidelines indicate a minimum time of 40 minutes to make a connection, a better option is to choose itineraries with a layover of at least 60 to 75 minutes to account for any flight delays or if you are flying outside of the same air alliance.Do I have to go through immigration for a connecting flight in Munich?
Usually, you just walk through a door labelled "Nothing to declare". But at your first stop (Munich), you have to go through Immigration (Passport Control) and this may not be quick.How much time do you need to transfer in Munich?
One hour is very tight in my opinion bearing in mind your incoming flight could be delayed and you normally have to be at the departure gate around 15 - 30 minutes before departure, even if you make it your luggage might not.How long is the connection at Munich airport?
2-4 hours layover If you have 2-4 hours between your arrival at Munich Aiport and the boarding of your connecting flight, you have enough time to explore Munich Aiport landside and get some fresh air!LAYOVER AND BOARDING AT MUNICH AIRPORT (MUC) TERMINAL 2 AND SATELLITE
