MCT in BCN
Hi All - I'm considering booking a one-way flight on Vueling, and I need some advice before doing so.
Leg 1: CDG > BCN
1 hour 5 min layover in BCN
Leg 2: BCN > LPA
I believe Vueling operates out of T1 in BCN. I will not be checking any bags. Because France and Spain are Schengen countries, I don't think I have to worry about passport control at any point.
Barring any unforeseen delays, is the connection time sufficient?
Thanks.

MCT for Schengen/domestic
I have what should be a fairly easy connection, but would like to get some feedback anyway.
I'm landing at BCN midweek (from ZRH), and just over two hours later departing with Ryanair, domestic. My LH flight has good on time performance, and I am assuming transferring (including collecting checked baggage, checking in again) should be fast (Schengen).

Then it's a few minutes past customs and down level to the T1<>T2 shuttle bus. Buses go every 5-10 minutes, and the ride takes a good 10 minutes.
I have never checked luggage with Ryanair, but the lines that I see are sometimes long. But once you are checked in, security at T2 is fairly fluid (but unpredictable - waiting time changes from week to week). After security it's maximum 5-10 minutes to the gate. But Ryanair starts boarding very early (and closes earlier than other airlines).
Overall, only risk this if you are OK with buying a new ticket if needed. (And pay Ryanair a few Euros for security fast track at T2.)
