Minimum Layover Time
« on: December 24, 2014, 07:09:08 PM »
I was wondering what is the minimum layover time to not miss connecting flight.
I have a flight booked leaving JFK to SVO (moscow) to TLV, Aeroflot, with a stopover in SVO for 1hour 40minutes.  Connection requires changing planes.  Is that enough time?  Will my luggage make it to other plane?

If you were sold both segments on on one ticket, it's a legal connection, and therefore should be enough to connect, even changing planes.

Yes they were (through Orbitz).  Thank you for the quick reply!

I want to book a round trip ticket to Moscow with a stop in Paris for a few hours and go back to paris right away. Will it be possible to make it with 55 minutes between the flights? Both flights are in terminal E and I won't have any lugagge. 

According to the airport's website, if you have 2 flights in terminal E, the minimum layover time should be 50 minutes. But I want to know from someone that was there...

Do you think 1:25 connection time with picking up & rechecking luggage can work in Berlin?
