Is 1h 15m layover in Brisbane long enough?
I'm looking at a flight that goes from Auckland to Brisbane, 1 hour 15 minute layover and then goes from Brisbane to Narita airport in Japan. Would the layover time be enough? The airline is Qantas and I assume it's one ticket as I'm looking at it in Google Flights.
Best Answer
Presuming your inbound flight is on time, this is a very achievable connection.
On the basis that it's all on one ticket your bags will be transferred for you. You will need to re-clear security in Brisbane, but will NOT need to pass through immigration or anything else.
The risk is that if your inbound flight is late and you do miss the connecting flight then you will likely need to wait until the next day to get on a flight. If you can't handle that long a delay, I would suggest booking a longer connection.

Is 1 hour layover enough for domestic flights?
The recommended layover time for domestic flights is normally one hour. However, as previously stated, you may require longer if your flights are booked with two different airlines, if you are traveling to a very busy airport or if you require special assistance.What is a good amount of time for a layover?
In general, Owens recommends allowing yourself at least two hours between flights if you're traveling from or connecting in a city that's prone to delays and your layover is in a large airport; and one hour if the layover is in a small airport.What is the ideal gap of time for connecting flights?
Domestic are usually 30-60 minutes. International will be longer due to immigration/customs requirements. Larger, congested airports will require a longer time than a small airport. Booking systems typically will not allow a connection below the MCT.Is an hour connection enough time for a checked bag to make it?
There is never any guarantee that bags will make a connection, but a longer layover does increase the chances. A 53-minute connection will work under normal circumstances, but your chances would be far better will an additional hour or so, especially if your first flight is slightly delayed.DON'T LET THIS RUIN YOUR TRIP! | *Tips for short connecting flights*
