Is 2h 20min layover in Alicante airport (Spain) enough?
I am coming from non-EU/non-Schengen and going to Helsinki, Finland. The layover in Alicante airport is 2h 20min and the flight is self-transfer (Vueling, then Norwegian or Finnair). Do I have enough time to check out my luggage and check it in to the next flight?
Best Answer
No one knows.
If things go well, then yes, if there are any issues (delayed flight, Corona test, baggage slow, long line at immigration, extra doc checks, long check in lines), then no.
For a self transfer you carry the full risk of missing the second flight. Personally I do not do self transfers with less than 4 hours and sometimes more if there are extra risk factors.
I would not book this.

Answer 2
Alicante Airport is not large, with only one terminal, and almost all flights end on a finger. Without any setback, it is more than enough time.
