Stop-over time

Miley2

Hi

Trying to book flights at the moment and I have a stop-over in Manchester of 1 hr 35 before the connecting flight. Is this enough time to make the connecting flight? I have never flown into Manchester before

Very much depends on where the second flight is going to and the airline involved. Long haul flights normally carry lots of luggage and they want you to check in two hours before the departure time so they can get all the bags onboard.

If you've only hand luggage and the second flight is to Europe, no problem. Otherwise that might be too short, tell us where you're going.

It also depends on whether the entire journey is booked at the same time - if the flights were booked separately and you have check-in baggage then it most definitely will not be enough as you'll have to pull the bag in Manchester and then get it to the check-in desk for the second leg.

Tell us who you're flying to Manchester with, the airline the next leg is with and where it's going.

2nd flight is to Barbados. Booking the flights together through GoHop so I am presuming the luggage will go straight through

Do you know who you're flying with? Have you flight numbers for the two legs?

You'll be checked and bags will be sent through to Barbados. You should have plenty of time.

Thanks for that, was just a bit worried about missing the onward flight
