When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 31 of them join BRS to LCA.
| Connecting at | BRS to hub, flights a day | Hub to LCA, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thessaloniki SKG | 0.57 | 2.86 | 3,433 | 6h 38m |
| Venice VCE | 0.86 | 0.86 | 3,435 | 6h 39m |
| Budapest BUD | 0.71 | 1.14 | 3,479 | 6h 42m |
| Athens ATH | 0.57 | 18.43 | 3,492 | 6h 42m |
| Prague PRG | 1.71 | 1.29 | 3,507 | 6h 44m |
| Newcastle NCL | 1.57 | 0.86 | 3,920 | 6h 50m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BRS in the afternoon actually flies on.
31 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Thessaloniki SKG, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through SKG the routing covers 3,433 km against the 3,422 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 38m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 01m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Venice VCE at 6h 39m and Budapest BUD at 6h 42m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for BRS to LCA in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
