Self-transfer guide · AGP

Plan baggage collection, check-in and the route between separate flights.

Separate tickets: check the actual route

With separate tickets, check whether you must collect and recheck your bags. Allow time for entry formalities, check-in, security and any passport control. Ask both airlines about their deadlines; a short walk between gates is not a safe connection allowance.

Confirm bags and boarding passes

Ask each airline whether bags are checked through and where the next boarding pass is issued. Have the bag-drop, check-in and boarding deadlines for your onward flight.

Allow for the full route

Include arrival delays, border control, baggage reclaim, terminal travel, bag drop and security. This guide does not calculate a safe connection time or promise missed-flight protection; check your booking terms.

Visa & entry

Arrivals from outside the Schengen area go through passport control. Collecting bags, checking in again or using a hotel outside the secure area may require entering Spain. Confirm your documents and connection with the airline before travel.
