Hi) I'm going to Madeira at the beginning of November and I'll have less than 2 hours between the flights to change the terminals at Lisbon airport (from Term 1 to Term.2), as I'll fly by TAP from Moscow I guess they will transfer my luggage themselves, so can you advice me: is 1,5 hours enougth for changing terminals or I have to book next flight to Funchal with more time between?
Thank you in advance,
Elena
Lisbon airport is fairly small. 1.5 hours should be enough if your flight from Moscow is on time. If it´s not, TAP will probably get you on the next flight to Madeira. There are several daily flights, so you´ll be OK.
You'll have enough time for a couple of beers in between your flights (assuming your flight is on time).
Amount of time ok if plane on time.
If the tickets are bought as "one" ticket and not two separate, then they have "guaranteed by issuing" that they will bring you to your destnation at no extra costs if first flight is delayed. (But not if you - example - run into visa/immigration problems).
Thank you, guys, for assistance, fortunately I've bought "one" ticket and never had problems with immigration control before, so I really hope this is not my case:-))
Both times at Lisbon airport-different times of day-going through security/passport control took a long time.Lines were backed up. Won't you have to go through passport control, pick up your luggage,go through customs,then put your luggage through to the connecting flight?
#6 - Since OP has bought one ticket, check-in luggage will be checked in all the way through from Moscow to Madeira. She will only have to clear immigration at Lisbon.
In the States you go through passport control,collect your luggage and go through customs.Then you take your luggage to the airline you will be taking for your connecting flight.It's always the first place you land.
Since Russia is not part of the European Union, won't they have to do the same in Lisbon before they continue on to Madeira?
