Hi All,

I haven't transited in FCO in almost a decade and could use some help. I'm flying from MAD to MXP via FCO, and I have 65 minutes to connect to the last flight of the day to MXP (AZ 1030). I'm a little worried about the transit time because I'm flying back to the US on a separate ticket the next morning. Is connecting through FCO from AZ-operated flight to an AZ-operated flight--in this case, AZ CityLiner--pretty easy? I'm assuming that I won't need to go through passport formalities/customs. I hold a US passport.

Also, I don't expect to check baggage -- though I suspect that EU airlines are much stricter about carry-on bags than most US carriers. If I'm forced to check my rollerboard, will my luggage likely make it?

For what it's worth, I'm a ST Elite+, so I don't know if that will make a difference in this entire scenario, particularly as it relates to priority queuing or transit help.


Thanks all
