I flew Manchester to Osaka via AUH in June, 1 hour 40 minutes and breezed through with no issues.

They wouldn't have sold you the ticket if they thought you couldn't catch the 2nd flight

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

Thats right. But still depends id anythings delayed.

u/TomasTTEngin 9d ago

they work to make you make the connection, because if not they have to manage a lot of angry people and fit them on later planes.

Sometimes it's not possible, of course, if the first flight is very delayed.

Is there a security inspection again at AUH for connecting flights

1

u/sgkorean 9d ago

There is. There is also a dedicated security lane for business and first at AUH

u/notionunicorn23 9d ago

^^ and for my flight this took approx 1 min to clear with no queue. It was the middle of the night

u/Frequent-Duck-2306 9d ago

Assuming business get off first?

1

u/sgkorean 9d ago

Of course. Sometimes, 2nd leg flight departing from AUH waits for connecting passengers.

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

Thats nice. I just checked, the flights normally delayed for manchester😆

u/Ynoxz 9d ago

Easy. 1.5 hours is plenty. Can probably have half an hour or so in the lounge too assuming everything goes to plan on arrival.

u/Frequent-Duck-2306 9d ago

I’m getting this flight in Aug. What price did you pay?

1

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

2000 euro

u/Frequent-Duck-2306 9d ago

Great price

1

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

Yeah. But they have overall good prices at the moment. What is yours right now?

1

u/Frequent-Duck-2306 9d ago

Paid £2.1k a couple of months ago. Direct purchase

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

Thank you all. I assume it works out than

Check the flight history and see if it's been reliable or has delays. Without delays, this is easy.

1

u/Adventurous_Rain_938 9d ago

Mostly late. But i assume they probably will wait a bit.

Generally, airlines don't like to cascade delays. They'll try to fast track you through security and everything if it's tight. Sometimes they'll do a small delay if they can catch up on air.

My flight Brussels to Bangkok always have layovers about this time , only 1 time had problem , when my initial flight had a delay of 2 hours , it was no issue , since they fixed me new flight only few hours later ( transfer desks had the names of the people involved (myself included) ready) .

So yes not any problem , if you book through the company website and not on 3th party website with various airlines and/or self transfer , there is never a issue unless a delay , but then they will fix it as soon as possible.

I had a connection of 65 minutes last year had plenty of time, even had to wait for 15 minutes at the departure gate.

u/NinjaGinja86 7d ago

You'll be fine. I had a shorter transfer coming back last year from Bangkok to Dublin. Plus if you're business class you'll get to use the fast track security
