I have been through Memphis before but don't recall, is it a small layout? Can you really make it from gate to gate? Will they hold the plane for one person, if you ask your steward (or stewardess) to call over and say you are running to meet the flight? The flight out of Memphis is at 7:25 pm, and I bet there isn't another out after that to Amsterdam.
Anybody know anything about this?
Thanks!
MEM is super easy to navigate. You should be just fine. If you aren't going to make MEM, more likely than not, they can route via MSP which is a later. Wouldn't sweat it though, as noted MEM is a breeze! I always have a fond spot in the heart for NW's Southern Hub. Ok, I know .... but it was darn it!
