Self Connecting Passengers

Self connecting passengers are those passengers who are travelling on two or more connecting flights which were booked separately to each other and have independent tickets. From an aviation standpoint, these flights are regarded as separate journeys (point to point flights).

If you are travelling as a self-connecting passenger please follow guidelines below:

Self connecting with checked in baggage

  • Please proceed to the baggage hall to retrieve your bags, and exit the baggage hall.

  • Terminals 1 and 2 are linked and within a 5 minute walk of each other, and are clearly signposted.
