Can you make a flight with a 40 minute layover?

Is 40 minutes too short for a connecting flight?

Okay, 40 minutes for a connection? Seriously? Yes, way too short. Ugh.

• Like, sprinting through the airport? I did that once in Atlanta. Never again.

International flights? Forget about it. Customs alone takes, like, forever.

• Remember that time in Amsterdam? Missed my flight to Rome because of the lines. Still mad about that.

Plus, what if your first flight is delayed? Then what? No time at all.

• Airlines are betting on you making it, that’s the problem. And they’re often WRONG.

Maybe domestic, same terminal? Still risky. My sister missed her nephews bday last month due to a similar connection.

• She was flying from Denver to Phoenix. 45-min connection. Delayed in Denver. Chaos.

And baggage? Forget about your luggage showing up on time. It’s a total lottery, isn’t it? Especially if you change terminals.

• Oh man, terminal transfers. Worst. Always end up walking, like, miles.
• What if I have to recheck my bag? Will I have to do that?
• Security lines could be crazy, that’s true.

Honestly, I wouldn’t risk it. Unless you’re super adventurous and hate sleep. I value sleep!

• Ugh, I hate running in airports.

Book a longer layover. Peace of mind is worth it. Seriously.

• Like, 2 hours minimum. Maybe more. If you are flying to another country.
• Am I being too dramatic? Maybe. But I’ve been burned before.

Is 40 minutes enough time for a layover in Minneapolis?

40 minutes in Minneapolis? Hmmm, ambitious! Like trying to knit a sweater during a commercial break.

• It can work, but buckle up, buttercup. Picture yourself as an Olympic sprinter, but with luggage.

• Remember my 25-minute sprint from Terminal F to C? The tram? Oh, it was napping. Probably dreamt of me.

• Pro-tip: Know your gate before landing. Seriously. Become a gate whisperer.

• Consider this: MSP is not exactly a tiny airport. Each terminal boasts its own ecosystem!

• Worried? Nah. Just… determined. Maybe pack light? Leave behind that extra pair of shoes. You can buy new ones, but time? Nope.

• A 1-hour layover? That’s practically a spa day. Relatively speaking.

• Think of it as a fun challenge! Or a character-building experience.

• Listen, if Reddit freaks out about 38 minutes, 40 is…slightly less freaky? Maybe?

• Bottom line: 50 minutes? I’d still be side-eyeing the gate agent, just saying. Me? Maybe I’d be worried lol.

Is it enough to have a 1 hour layover?

Ugh, one hour’s crazy short! Three hours is way better, especially with checked bags. Seriously, My friend missed her flight last year, a total nightmare. Only had an hour, and her suitcase? Nope. Didn’t make it. She was so mad. It sucked! The airline was like, “oh well.” Not cool.

• Three-hour layover is a minimum, seriously.
• Checked bags? Add even more time. They take forever, you know?
• Think about potential delays. Planes get delayed; it happens. A lot.
• Don’t be a dummy; plan ahead! Better safe than sorry, right? Trust me on this.

That whole thing with my friend really opened my eyes. She was stranded for, like, six hours before getting on another flight. Cost her a fortune too. Never again. Seriously, plan that layover time well. It’ll save you so much stress. Don’t be like my friend! She’s still complaining about it. The whole airport thing is stressful enough without adding baggage mishaps.

What is the minimum layover time for Delta?

Delta’s minimum layover? Thirty minutes, barely enough time to grab a lukewarm coffee and contemplate your life choices. Think of it as a high-stakes game of airport Frogger.

Key takeaway: Thirty minutes. It’s less time than my goldfish takes to forget I fed him.

• Domestic flights: Thirty minutes—prepare for a sprint.
• International: Oh honey, you’ll need more time than that. Way more. Like, a whole extra hour, minimum. Think of a leisurely stroll… in a hurricane.
  • My cousin, bless his cotton socks, once missed his flight to Jamaica because of a 30 minute international layover. He now owns a goat farm. Coincidence? I think NOT.

Seriously though, if you have bags, add time. I’m telling you, baggage claim is a black hole of despair. Last time I flew Delta, my suitcase showed up three days later in Boise. Boise!

Pro Tip: Sixty minutes is your friend. Treat yourself, you deserve it. Unless, you enjoy chaos, then 30 minutes is totally fine.

United’s got similar rules. 30 minutes domestic – unless you are flying with your pet hamster that needs a private jet. 60 minutes international. You know, for hamster comforts. Southwest is a bit more lenient (30 minutes, provided your luggage isn’t planning a solo backpacking trip across the country).

You have been warned. Now go forth and conquer (or at least, make your connecting flight).
