Airport Transfer Services: Frequently Asked Questions
‘Connect in airport’ means that your journey requires you to switch planes at an airport before continuing to your final destination.
This means your journey is not direct and you’ll have to catch another flight. Your next flight may not necessarily be departing from the same terminal at which you arrived.
Generally, if you booked your flights with one airline, your bags will be transferred to your next flight automatically – but you should find out if you need to collect and re-check them.
If you booked each flight separately – which can be the case when you book with two different airlines - this is known as a self-transfer, and you’ll definitely be responsible for transferring your luggage to your next flight.
To complete an airport flight transfer, you'll typically need to disembark from one flight, navigate the airport - and potentially collect and re-check your baggage - before boarding your connecting flight.
If you book all flights as part of a single itinerary, your baggage is usually checked through to your final destination, and you'll often receive all boarding passes at the start of your journey.
If you didn't receive your boarding pass for the connecting flight during check-in, you can usually get it from a transfer desk or kiosk.
If you book connecting flights separately, you'll likely need to collect your baggage after the first flight and re-check it for the second.
You’ll need to factor in the time taken to navigate the airport and reach your next departure gate – particularly if you have to change terminals – as well as whether you need to go through security checks and immigration again, which is often the case for international connections.
With marhaba transfer services, you can eradicate the stress of these connections. Our friendly team will guide you through the formalities and get you where you need to be ahead of your next flight.

However, you’ll need to check the local visa requirements and make sure you have plenty of time to get back to the airport and reach the departure gate ready for your onward flight.
The minimum time needed for an airport flight transfer varies from airport to airport, but it’s generally considered that a layover of at least 1.5 to 2 hours is required.
You need to factor in potential delays to your first flight, the time it will take to physically reach the departure gate for your next flight and any security or immigration checks you might need to complete.
