is 35 minutes enough time for a legal layover in Brussels airport [closed]

I have a option of a flight with a 35 minutes stopoff in Brussels does anyone know if it's legal

Best Answer

Well it depends on your flight.

If you're just in transit, then that's fine and legal. However, if you miss your connection, then it depends - if it's on the same ticket, that's the airline's responsibility to rebook you.

If it's a separate ticket, you have two issues. One, if you miss the connection, you lose the second flight. Secondly, if you have luggage, it likely will need to be rebooked - which means you'll have to exit transit.

So then it becomes a matter of whether or not you need a visa to exit into Belgium. This depends on your citizenship, but if you can get one on arrival, or don't need one (eg European citizen), then that's not a problem.

So legal, yes, but a risk - yes too. 35 minutes is pretty tight - it doesn't leave much room for error.

Is a 35 minute layover enough time?

The recommended layover time for international flights is generally longer, as you will have to go through customs and immigration before boarding your next flight. In most cases, a 30-minute layover for domestic flights and an hour for international flights is considered a minimum, or short, layover.

Is one hour layover enough in Brussels?

1. Re: Is a one hour layover enough? Normally yes, as long as this would be a single ticket (Budapest -Tel Aviv via BRU) with luggage checked all the way to Tel Aviv, as the "legal connection time" at BRU is 50 mins even when changing Piers (A to B) as in your case.

What is the legal layover time?

The rule of thumb is to allow a minimum of 3 hours between flights if they are not part of the same ticket.

How long should my layover be if I want to leave the airport?

It may result in missing your flight. So, always try to get back around 60 minutes before the departure time for domestic flights and around 90 minutes for international flights.
