Flight passengers debate time needed to catch connecting planes

Whether layovers wind up being a short stop or a few hours, they're often part of the journey. 

A user on Reddit posted a question in the "r/americanairlines" forum, wondering if his or her grandmother would have "enough time to connect."

"Both flights are mainline, which should help, but 55 minutes [between flights] still makes me a bit nervous," the person wrote.

"It'll be tight, but you should be OK," said one person.

The use shared more context about the Savannah airport, adding, "Terminal 3 is very large, so hopefully your gates aren't too far apart."

Another individual commented, "There's also a chance that you won't even have to change planes, as both flights are an A319 and the connection time is a normal turnaround time."

"Probably," said one. 

The poster responded, "The flight is early in the morning, so hopefully there won't be any delays on the 1st flight."

Added the user about the grandmother, "Practically speaking, once she is off the 1st plane, she will only have about 20-25 minutes to walk from one gate to the other."

"Some flights on the same airline and within the same terminal will involve shorter allowable connections," he added.

A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) told Fox News Digital that Logan International Airport doesn't put a timeframe on connections. 

"Each airline has a connection time minimum, and it can be different for each due to bags needing to connect, check-in minimums and security minimums," said the spokesperson. 

The individual added, "It can range, but the average is typically 60 minutes depending on domestic or international."

"At least two hours is a good recommendation," said Chin.
