What would be the minium time that I should allow between flights within Europe to make connecting flights? I am trying to plan my flights and it seems like some of the connecting flights are too close.

It depends on the airport, you'll need a greater connection time for Heathrow and CDG, than for Amsterdam or Munich airports. But IMO lots of people get too "hung up" on it. The airline wouldn't sell you the ticket unless they thought you had a reasonable chance of making the connection. For most destinations there are multiple flights each day. So Even if you did miss the connection, the airline can almost always put you on a later flight, or use one of their partner airlines. The last thing they want to do is pay for a hotel room, until a flight opens up the next day.

Thanks for the advice. I looked into the website you provided and found a few answers.

Not all the airports are listed though.
