Hi everybody,
My girlfriend and I will be traveling from DC to Aruba in September and I had 2 questions about our travel plans.

1. When we arrive in Charlotte, are there any additional steps we need to take (security, airline check-in, etc.) to get to our flight or is it just like a normal domestic transfer?

2. Our layover is 45 minutes in Charlotte; do you think that enough time for our bags to transfer?

Cheers!
Noah

1. For the most part, no. They will likely want to verify your passport before you board though.

2. Plenty of time for your bags, if everything goes smoothly. It doesn't leave much room for weather, maintenance or ATC delays, though. It will certainly help if your flight is not an express flight.

I fly out of DC also. If I am using a connector, I have always been told you need an hour minimum to connect. You should be fine with 45 minutes because we always had plenty of time to spare with an hour. That is without delays.
