95 minute layover in BRU
Is 95 minutes sufficient to change planes on a ORD-BRU-KGL routing? I have never been to BRU before. Arriving on United metal, changing to a codeshare operated by Brussels Airlines. Thanks for any help!

BRU is not that difficult to navigate. It's IMO fairly compact.

Thanks so much -- yes, one ticket. Coming from the US and heading to Africa it looks like we would go from terminal B to T, so a bus transfer. I think we have to clear security, and also passport control? Compactness helps a lot though! We would like to keep this ticket if we can, clock is ticking on the 24 hr refund window...all the other options are a lot more expensive, a lot less convenient, or both. Thanks again.

I wouldn't worry about it because they are on the same booking/ticket.

95 minutes is enough time.
Last time I transferred at BRU on United metal to Brussels metal, I wasn't able to check in to the second flight in advance. I had to go to a transfer desk at BRU to get my boarding pass. I have no idea if that's routine or unusual on that routing, but you may want to be aware of it. It didn't take long, so the 95 minutes should still be plenty of time, as long as you're aware that you need to do it. You should know when you check in to the UA flight.

You'll have to clear security but not passport control since you are not entering the Schengen zone.
