How big of an airport? How long does one need for a "safe" connection?

*Andrea J.* · 07-11-2009, 04:42 PM

it is very "manageable"

the airlines always recommend a minimum of 45 minutes. in my mind i always say an hr and half.

been to dulles a number of times and had no difficulty making connections.

i have now gotten used to portland and bangor where there are only a few gates. love it!

That would certainly be my choice with all the beautiful weather there this summer.

As you say Rob...best cure when you get back home is to start planning the next trip.

Will know much more tomorrow when I call MCM Tours.

We flew Dulles to Aruba this past December, not a large airport and easy to get around.
