My daughter is currently in Barcelona on vacation. She will be returning to
the USA on a SpanAir flight that flies from Barcelona to Madrid, and then
she will change planes and board a Delta flight that will return her to the
states. The connection time in Madrid is one hour and ten minutes.
When she checks in on the SpanAir flight in Barcelona, will her luggage be
checked all the way back to the US? Or will she have to retrieve her
luggage in Madrid and have to check her luggage again in Madrid? If the
latter, is the 70-minute layover between landing and departure in Madrid
sufficient?
If the connection is too tight, would it be better for her to take a bus or
train from Barcelona to Madrid and forget the first leg of the flight? If
she does this without notifying the airlines, will Delta cancel their
portion of the flight? She is already ticketed and has her tickets.
