I'm in J and the flights are on the same PNR with no checked luggage. There's a KE flight out of ORD that gets into ICN at 16:20, which provides the MCT of 45 minutes, but will 5 minutes makes that much of difference? IS 40 minutes doable, given I'm in J and should be off the plane pretty quickly?
Thank you!
Just last week I did BOM-ICN-SFO (in advance of which I'd posted up-thread). BOM-ICN was delayed, and I ended up having just about 35 minutes on the ground at ICN to get from gate 26 to gate 6. I made it in 20 minutes... super easy. Minimal wait to security in the transit area, and then easy walk to onward connecting gate.
I don't think I'd want to book a 40-minute connection in case of delays, but if that's all you've got, it's manageable.
