I'm flying from Dubrovnik to Rome (FCO) on EasyJet, arriving at 10:00 a.m. Will I have time to catch an 11:30 a.m. departure on Air Canada from Terminal 3 to Toronto? I don't know what terminal EasyJet uses. If necessary, I can make sure that I don't have to check luggage... Thanks!!!

Have you considered contacting EasyJet directly, or researching your question on the internet?

I don't think EasyJet would know but that does make me think that Air Canada might be able to tell me something. Thanks for the suggestion!

I thought this was the Internet!?

You need to hope your flight is on time and it would be better to not check luggage.
Normally If you exit in FCO you are post security and you can walk to the gate for AC. This will be faster than exit, baggage claim, change levels, recheck, redo security and then head to gate. YOu might get some odd question from the staff at the AC check point (How did you clear security? I get this often as I connect on non-connected PNRs to USA bound flights).

DBV will bring you outside Schengen so you shouldn't actually hit passport control again IIRC.

Hmm, I'm thinking I'd better have a better plan than hoping the flight is on time. I'm going to bite the bullet and fly to Rome a day early. An extra day in Rome isn't the worst thing in the world. :-) Thanks!

Well, don't do it just on my account, but I asked a few others and they said similar things to what I suggested. I have done tighter non-protected connections before (normally WindJet or Alitalia Catania to Roma then Roma to the USA) and I make it but if a first flight is delayed to could cause problems. You are "safer" with the extra day.

P.S. there are many threads on here if you want hotel suggestions (not sure how much you know about FCO and city hotels.

It would actually be a major hassle if I missed that flight so I've got to err on the safe side. Thanks for the suggestion about checking threads about hotels, I'll be sure to do that.
