Thanks again.

My original connection time for my Sept. flight was 58 minutes....they've changed it since I booked it and it's now 1 hour and 2 minutes.

I'm sure it'll work out.

Thanks BostonLager for bringing this up. Our connecting flight has us with 50 minutes to land and get to our flight out of Atlanta to Aruba. I am a little nervous about this myself. We are flying out of Richmond first. I may check on the info with the phone number given. Thanks

That should be enough time as long as you plane reaches Atlanta on time. They know which flights you are on so if they come in late they will hold the plane for a short period but I would not take my time getting to the gate!

FYI...I happened to email Delta about our concern of having enough time to connect and this was their reply...

"Thank you for your e-mail to Delta Air Lines.

As per Delta Procedures, a minimum connecting time of 60 minutes is
needed between domestic and International connecting flights in Atlanta,
GA (ATL). Since your flight does not meet the required connecting time,
it will be necessary for you to contact our Reservation Sales Department
at 800-241-4141.

Again, thank you for writing. We appreciate your selection of Delta and
will always welcome the opportunity to be of service."

So the bottom line is if you have less than 60 minutes to connect Delta will change your flight for no charge since it's their fault. Just call that number above and explain your situation. It all worked out for us.

We had an awsome time in Aruba and cannot wait to go back. We loved it.
I posted a few pics under the members gallery.

Have fun on your trip rum punch. I'm sure you will.
