Minimum flight transfter time at Madrid Airport?
On dec 26th I am landing at 11.35 in Barajas Terminal 2. I am flying from Stockholm via München with Lufthansa. Later I am flying out with a 13.00 Aerosur flight to Bolivia. Its in Terminal 1. A seperate booking.
My question is:
Its 1 hour 25 minutes between the flights. Is that enough to pick up the luggage, run to Terminal 1, check in and get the the gate? Will I have to pass through any passport or security controls from leaving the flight, getting the luggage and running to Terminal 1 for checkin? How is the reliability on the Lufthansa flight?
Flights in question:
Lufthansa 1800 2h 45min
München 08.50 F.J. Strauss airport (MUC) | Terminal 2
Madrid 11.35 Barajas airport (MAD) | Terminal 2
Madrid Barajas
Aerosur 5L544
Madrid - Santa Cruz Viru Viru, Bolivia
13:00
Thanks!

Basically, 1hr 25mins is not enough time on separate tickets. Don't do it!
Book an earlier LH connection.

Most likely not enough time. If your LH flight is delayed, you're in deep trouble.
T2 is quite good at getting luggage to the carousel within a few minutes (in my experience less than 15 min) from the time the plane parks at the gate. From there, it's about a 15 min walk to T1 (same building), so that eats half an hour right there. You probably need to check in at least an hour prior to your flight, and I doubt LH interlines with Aerosur. If you manage to make it that far, you're all set -- just go through passport control and on to the gate. That usually takes less than 10-15 minutes as well.
