Enough Time?
We are arriving in Munich on Lufthansa and have 40 min to pick up our baggage, clear customs, and transfer bags to our connecting flight to Barcelona. Is this enough time? Should we take carry-ons? We took carry-on luggage to Italy last year (pre 9/11) and had no problems -- what's people's experience with trans-atlantic carry-on luggage now? Appreciate all helpful advice.

Call the airline and ask what the "legal" connection is for your flight. Also ask when the next flights are. If you booked an "illegal" connection, ask for a different flight.<BR><BR>You shouldn't have to clear C & I in Munich. Lufthansa should have a flight connections desk to keep you airside.

A) You don't have to clear customrs until you reach your final destination. Your bags will be placed on your connecting flights for you. You do not need to claim them.<BR><BR>B) Minimum connecting time on an international flight is usually 1.5 hours. Typically in Europe you will fly into their international terminal and switch to an equivalent of our domestic terminals.<BR><BR>Good Luck,<BR><BR>Bobbi
