The American Airlines (operated by Iberia) flight is leaving Sept 4 and arriving in Naples Sept 5. I’m concerned I may not have enough time to go through Immigration and make my connecting flight. In researching online, I believe the flight will be arriving at Floor 0 (lower level) of Terminal 4 and departing on level 1 of the same terminal. Is that correct?

Is the Immigration office also on Floor 0 and do you think I’ll have enough time to go through Immigration and still make my flight to Naples? I haven’t been able to reach anyone at Iberia by phone or e-mail to receive an answer to my queries.

My father and I made it through the lines by acting really important and just walking past everybody. It apparently worked, and nobody complained.

Because I had a 6am flight and the metro stops going after a while. So I got there at 12am and couldn’t go past my gate because they weren’t opened around there. I had to sleep on the ground for a while before they finally opened my gate. On the good side, the lines weren’t as crowded at that time in the morning as they usually are. And the metro makes it super easy to get to the airport from the city center.
