Hi, I will be flying into LAS via DFW on July 26 with AA. I will be arriving at DFW at 9:50 PM and departing to LAS at 10:30 PM. Do I have enough time to make the connection barring any delays?

Thanks

I think AA has flights leaving out of 4 (?) of the 5 terminals at DFW, so...barring delays:

If your flights arrive and depart from the same terminal...no problem.
If your flights arrive and depart from different terminals, you have a choice of taking the SkyLink train or the terminal shuttle van service (see here (http://www.dfwairport.com/transport/connect.html))...probably no problem (although I've seen some long waits for some of those vans).

You don't say where you are coming from or list which terminals...that might be helpful for other experts to help with their opinions.

Assuming you aren't arriving internationally (customs), 40 minutes should be fine, if things are running on time. Don't even think about the terminallink van. Stay airside and take the Skylink. Station to station is 10 minutes max, thains run every 2 minutes. Add a few minutes to walk gate to station & vice versa, and it should take no more than 20 minutes gate to gate.

Yeah, sorry. I am flying from EWR. I do not see it as being a huge problem but I just wanted to be safe. So the SkyLink is the way to go if I have to change terminals. I am not sure this is the case but if I do, i now know what to do.

Thanks
