Stansted Flight Connection Times

Layne

Hi all,

Family have flights booked from Spain that arrive into Stansted at 7.45am and the forwarding flight to Ireland is departing at 8.45am.

Is this doable does anybody know?? Will only have carry on bags. Any information greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't be hopeful with one hour. Gate for flight to Ireland will probably close 30 minutes before departure so you probably won't even have a full hour to make the flight.

If these are Ryanair flights, they are not 'connections'. Ryanair are a point to point airline and you will have to clear Passport Control and reclear security. Not a snowball's chance in Hell of doing this in an hour.

Bit late to start worrying about it now - should have checked BEFORE booking the flights.

On the odd occasion I've done this on point-to-point carriers, I've always given myself a minimum of 3.5 to 4 hours, just on case the first flight is delayed.

Last time I came through Stansted I was waiting nearly 30 mins in Passport control.

I'd have a back up plan if I was you...

Thanks for all the feedback. Haven't booked the flight to Ireland yet so will have to look at a later flight.

There's loads of flights from Stansted to Dublin. I would allow absolute minimum 3 hours.
