What are the minimum connection times in LGA and DCA (both non-shuttle)? I am wondering if 16 mins in DCA or 20 mins in LGA is possible.
Here's the flights:
September 8:
1134 arrives DCA 6:24
879 departs DCA 6:40
4177 arrives LGA 3:25
135 departs LGA 3:45
Makeable?

MCT's for these airports:
DCA: 30 minutes
LGA: 25 minutes
No way I'd chance those that close, let alone be able to book those.

Just an FYI, Minimum Connection Times for popular US Airways airports can be found on the second page of the downloadable PDF timetable (http://www.trvlink.com/download/us/usaschedules.pdf).

Thanks... Don't know how many times I've looked at that timetable and never noticed the MCT list.

That list is a scream. In answer to the OP, not a chance on connections that short. Think about it, if you are on time on the original flight, I mean exactly on time, they open the door of your flight 6 minutes before they close the door on the next flight with a 16 minute connection. My own guidelines are about 45 minutes minimum, 60 minutes preferred for domestic. Double it for international, quadruple it for international through PHL.
