Airport Minimum Connection Times - Time Needed to Make Connecting Flights

By , About.com Guide

Do you have a tight connection, and is it legal? You need to make sure of the minimum connection times allotted at the airport you are traveling through. If it is less time than the minimum, it is considered an illegal or hot connection (essentially, the airline doesn't owe you anything if you miss your connecting flight). I've compiled a list of minimum connection times required to catch connecting flights at major airports around the world.

Airports - Amsterdam to Dallas

Airports - Denver to London

Airports - Los Angeles to Miami

* There is a disclaimer here in that not all airlines adhere to the exact same minimum connection times, so these times should be used as a guideline only.
