Barcelona Minimum Connection Times
Hello all,
I have a question regarding the minimum connection time for my trip for Barcelona (BCN).
I bought a ticket flying EWR-BCN-TFN, with an original connect time of 45 minutes. The BCN-TFN flight segment was recently changed so the connection time has been reduced to 40 minutes. The airlines in question are Continental (EWR-BCN) and Air Europa (BCN-TFN).
My traveling companion and I are US passport holders and will have at least one checked bag.
This itinerary is all booked on a single ticket issued by Continental, and if the new connection time is not legal I'd prefer to make the changes before departure.
Many thanks!
Chris

Thank you for the responses. I didn't remember BCN being large, but it's been a few years since I was there. Another question - although I may make it with a 40 minute connection, will our checked bag(s)?

) in a few months (maybe 
) the new terminal will be (maybe 
) operational. The new terminal is a separate building (all the current ones are in one long building), so this might affect your connection. (I have no information on which terminal Continental and Air Europa will be using in the new setup.)
