Transit times through FCO: CO --> AZ USA to Africa...
Good Afternoon,
My brother will be traveling in July EWR<-->FCO on CO and then FCO<-->TUN on AZ. His tickets were purchased separately and are non-connecting (obviously). He will not be checking bags and he is traveling in Y.
He only has 1.5 hours between flights from CO->AZ in FCO. I had advised him that this is a bad idea but I have limited experience in FCO. My question:
#1) Is 1.5 hours enough for such a connection?
#2) What is the procedure for this connection? Will he need to "enter Italy" by exiting through passport control and then check back in and "exit Italy" on the depature level or is there a way to transfer without dealing with all of that?
#3) He will try to checkin online for the AZ flight before he leaves ths US. But in case that doesn't work is there a way for him to get a BP for the AZ flight without going through #2 above?
Thanks in advance.
