I think you should be ok as you only have hand luggage, it depends how busy the airport is at the time you transfer & whether you arrive on time. What date is your Easy jet flight?

Easy jet is a hot topic here on Tenerife at the moment, it actually has its on post/thread on this forum if you search for it.

Why did you call it 'Squeezy Jet', are the seats really small then?

I am flying with them in April, & am very apprehensive as they do have a reputation for cancelling their flights & have a bad reputation, unfortunately, so be prepared.

I am told it's a free for all when boarding, a battle of wills to who is going to board first.

You maybe one of the lucky people who has a pleasant trip.

Keep us posted please so as we know whether it worked successfully for you

I really think this is too tight a connection ... Easyjet fly to Terminal 1 and Iberia use Terminal 4

Agree with Doreen, WB : not possible ... one hour just isn't enough, I'd say.

It's definitely cutting it too fine....

BA phoned me up the other day about a reservation I'd made which included a 1 hour 45 minute connection time in Heathrow (T1 to T4, I think). They made me take an earlier flight from Edinburgh as they said the minimum connection time in LHR is 2 hours. OK, Barajas isn't as big as Heathrow, but I agree with everyone who says 1 hour is just cutting it too fine.

i will adhere to the collective wisdom on here thanks to you all ,squeezy jet is just a nick mame wee use, but edinburgh to tenerife sur was a 110 quid when i last looked, i fear i will get home amd get a call again to go back ,is there a card you can get for airport lounges (a yearly one perhaps)

Yes - Priority Pass. Three tiers - first costs 99 euros each year & you pay 24 euros per visit to a lounge: second is 249 a year and you have 10 free visits. Finally at 399 a year you have unlimited visits.

Some credit cards include membership in their premium packages ... for instance, AIB have a Visa card with a fee of 200 euros, which includes Priority pass and AA membership. Not sure if it is 10 visits a year or the unlimited one.
