Is 2h15 enough for self-transfer in Madrid (Ryanair → Sichuan Airlines, baggage + passport control)?
Our take
Hey everyone! I’m reaching out for some advice about my self-transfer in Madrid. I’ll be arriving from Porto (OPO) at 08:50 with Ryanair and have a connecting flight with Sichuan Airlines to China at 11:05, both at Terminal 1. I need to go through passport control, collect my baggage, and recheck it for my international flight before heading through security again. With a layover of 2 hours and 15 minutes, I’m concerned if that’s enough time. Has anyone experienced a similar transfer at Madrid Airport?
Hi everyone,
I have a self-transfer (separate tickets) in Madrid.
* I arrive from Porto (OPO) at 08:50 (MAD T1) with Ryanair
* My next flight is at 11:05 from Madrid (also T1) with Sichuan Airlines to China
I’ll need to go through passport control (Schengen exit), collect my baggage, and recheck it for the international flight, then pass security again.
The layover is 2h15 — is that enough time at Madrid Airport?
I’m especially worried because it’s a long-haul flight to China, so I assume check-in might close earlier.
Has anyone done a similar transfer at MAD?
Thanks!
