Hello,
Flying AMS - MAN - IAH in a month. AMS - MAN is with KL, MAN - IAH is with SQ. The ticket was bought on Kayak.
Is 1:40 enough to connect? I have only carry on language...
Thanks

Do you have any experience with this connection? Does it work? It looks like . there is a terminal change...

Never been to MAN, as long as the flights are on time, there should be no problem. Never heard of the need to pay to transit in an airport, but I could be wrong. If there is a fee to be paid, the airlines would have collected from you when you purchased the tickets. Unless you are talking about the airport drop off charges for cars arriving at MAN airport.
It's about a 15 minute walk from T3 (KLM) to T2 (SQ), which involves a covered walkway and routing past T1. There is no sterile transfer so you will have to clear the UK Border. Are you travelling on an EU passport or otherwise entitled to use e-gates? The connection is tight but doable but I would classify it as reasonably high risk rather than comfortable - any delay on the KLM flight in or a bad queue at the UK border could very quickly eat into your time reserves, especially given you will need to allow 15 minutes to change terminals and you also need to reclear security at T2.
