Two weeks ago, I flew DEN-IAH-PTY-MDE. The connection time in PTY was supposed to be about 2 hours. UA was very late and I stepped off the plane with 20 minutes until my next departure. My gate was almost as far away as is possible in tiny PTY and I made it with 10 minutes to spare (though I was walking very fast).
