Is my layover long enough?
Enter your connecting airport and layover. We estimate the minutes you need from walking, security, passport control and EES, using FlightQueue data.
EES applies to non-EU travellers who enter the Schengen area, when they clear passport control in a Schengen country. Passengers who stay airside in transit do not go through EES.
Questions
No. This is an estimate built from FlightQueue’s own airport data. It is not an official minimum connection time (MCT), and it does not use any airline or airport MCT figures. Check your airline for its published minimum.
The walk between your gates or terminals, and, for an international-to-domestic connection, the security wait, the passport and customs wait, and the EES entry wait at Schengen airports. Each part shows its own minutes.
We show “limited data for this airport” when we have no real figure for a part. We leave that part out of the total instead of guessing. Because of this, the total can be lower than the real time needed.
EES applies to non-EU travellers who enter the Schengen area, when they clear passport control in a Schengen country. Passengers who stay airside in transit do not go through EES. The checker adds the EES entry wait only for an international-to-domestic connection at a Schengen airport.
Too short means the layover is shorter than the estimated total. Tight means you have less than 15 minutes to spare after the estimate. Enough means you have 15 minutes or more to spare. These labels are estimates, not guarantees.
Estimates only. This is not an official minimum connection time. Actual times vary by airport, terminal, day and time, and by your airline's rules.
