Connection Question
 
Hi,

Quick question: I am thinking of booking through priceline the following:

ZQN-MEL 2 hr layover
MEL-BNE 30 mins layover
BNE-CNS

Is 30 mins too short in BNE? IF I missed that flight due to the connection being late what would realistically happen since I booked through a third party site?

Thanks

Alex

I think BNE is doable unless the plane is late. If your flights are issued on one ticket, you should be put on the next flight if you can't make your connection. I am not sure about the baggage though.

Agreed that it's doable but even at the most efficient of airports, 30 minutes leaves no margin for any delays. At least it's all on the same ticket so presumably is being sold that way as a "legal" connection.

you wont have any problems, as 30 mins is the usual minimum connection time for a domestic flight

Like others mentioned, it's very much possible even with luggage on a single ticket (tried it once MKY-BNE-CBR if memory serves me right) and the bags made it.
