    Hi guys, travelling next month from Cork-Stansted and onwards Stansted-Edinburgh with airport. Only have 1 hour and 15 mins between flights to make the next one. Is this at all doable?

    Have been on to Stansted, and they've said as it's 2 separate flights would neet to exit arrivals and go through security check to get to departures.

    Will be landing at 20.10 and onward flight is 21.25 so would imagine security check shouldn't be too bad at that time of the evening with less flights out. There's an option for £5 fasttrack security pass too.

    Just with flight arriving late, long walk to gate for next flight I think it could be a bit hairy. Anyone have any tips/advice from doing something similar previously?

    Thanks a lot!

    Yeah, think late incoming flight is my major issue. Flown Ryanair lately fair bit including to Stansted and times were pretty spot on so hopefully will be ok this time.

    Nope, just hand luggage, so at least there's that.

    This is departures for tonight, doesn't look too busy but could be different evening I'm flying out.

    It not really 21:25 as the gate will close earlier. TBH it's way to tight and an unusual routing.

    I was about to ask why the hell you're not going direct or even from Dublin but this explains it.
    My tip. pay to sit in row 1-3 off the flight from Cork to Stansted and ensure you have priority board, this will ensure your hand luggage get in the cabin with you, and sitting up front will ensure a speedy exit on arrival. This will create valuable minutes for you to run through the airport. 
    Remember airlines have the right to close the gate 30 mins before scheduled departure

    Although this is possible, it's very unlikely. Usually I find the 'gate closes' time is when boarding starts.

    Check the flight scheduling, it's possible that your flight may be on a turnaround of 25 mins, in which case there's no way boarding will start until around 10mins before scheduled departure unless the plane arrives significantly early.

    Also check the ontime history of both flights.

    If it comes to it and you miss your flight, it'll cost you €100 and you'll be put in the next available flight (which would be the next morning).

    Yeah was thinking of doing that to get in first few rows but last time I flew to stansted from cork, had to be bussed to terminal so not sure it would make any difference then! :/

    Yeah was hoping for that. Once you're in line as flight boarding should be ok?

    i think once you aren't delayed landing you should be okay, I've been through stansted a few times in the past month including 26th december which was busy and made it through security in 20minutes

    keep moving once your off the inbound flight and you will be alright i think

    I'm sure you were all hanging on the edges of your seat for an update (or not at all..) but managed to make it alright with a bit of time to spare! :)
