Is a same plane return possible?
Hi all,
New round these parts and apologise if this is something that has been discussed before. I know there's a reason carriers don't/won't book pax on outbound/inbound sequential flights, but is it possible in anyone's experience to make it?
Long story short BA's snow day dramas have meant that I am now looking at my final leg of a points run rubbing up against the inbound leg of its nest, giving me 45 minutes to dash out and back into Toulouse airport, to the gate and onboard. Is this enough time in anyone's opinion? All thoughts welcome.
I'll be checked in already and have no hold baggage.
Thx.

Not much detail to figure out what you're really asking there. If the question is: can I get off the plane and get back on it, the answer is "yes".
Why would you "dash out and back into" TLS? If you want to pass out of security [for some unimaginable reason] that sounds like a question for folks in Toulouse...

Thanks Gary, that's what I thought. Having transited there a couple of times on various runs i've always had to pass through Schengen PP control and have never noticed any suggestion of a facility to avoid it. Plus, even WITH fast track security, the gate BA tend to use is at the farthest end of the terminal. Going to have to miss closing the loop on this one.
