The travel times between your 2 flights are taken into account when you buy a connecting ticket on our website. In case your flight arrives late and the minimum connecting time cannot be met, the airline responsible for the delay will offer you a rerouting solution. If you purchase your flights separately, you must ensure that you have enough time between each flight to make your connection. If your flight is delayed, the airline operating your flight will not be responsible for your rerouting, and will not necessarily offer you an alternative solution.
