HEL Minimum Connect Time: Schengen-Schengen
 
I searched the forum for an answer, but had no luck.
Does anyone know what the minimum connect time is for Schengen arrival/departure?
I'm looking at connecting from AY782 (FCO-HEL) arriving at 15:45 and connecting to AY921 (HEL-LIS) departing at 16:40.
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know the official answer, but I would be happy to take that on if I didn't have any checked bags (no experience of checked bag handling at HEL).

Pretty sure the MCT on AY is 25 minutes for your case. The longest MCT at HEL is 45 minutes so this is definitely a legal connection. HEL is great this way.

The latest info I have is that the MCT is 35 minutes on this routing.

To and from Leisure flights 75 min

The minimum connecting times vary between other airlines and at other destinations.

Thanks for the info. I should have checked finnair.com.
It seems that HEL makes a fine alternative to the LHR chaos.

Yes, this is a relatively lengthy connection for HEL. I have had less time scheduled (35 mins) to connect from a Schengen port to the BKK or HKG flights, and made them with no problems.

HEL is one of the most convenient and easy airports to use in Europe, and certainly makes LHR look and feel decidedly like a version of hell. It is our oneworld European entry/exit point of preference in most cases.

Your only potential problem may be getting out of FCO on time... ;)
