Planning
Consider the following:
- Most flights begin boarding at least 30 minutes before departure. Do you plan on needing overhead bin space?
- A typical flight takes 15-20 minutes to deplane. Unless you’re sitting in the front, you need to factor in time to deplane.
- Will you be clearing customs? Do you have Global Entry?
- Doors close 10 minutes before departure.
Is the connection time legal?
Published MCT (minimum connection times) are available on ExpertFlyer.com under Travel Information > Min Connect Times. For example, a domestic-to-domestic connection when traveling on AA through DCA is 30 minutes.
