My worst have 30-ish minute connections at LAX... from the end of T8 to the end of T6. Doable but a long dash to be sure.


While I'd never book one of those, I was lucky enough to make my sub-1-hour connection at FRA Friday morning. It had been a 2:50 connection until UA got me in about 2 hours late...

We pulled up at a gate--no bus!--and my connection involved only passport control, no security, and was pretty close by. I'm still at a loss why I sometimes have to go through security at FRA when going US-Schengen, and sometimes don't, but I believe we have a whole thread about the vagaries of FRA connections and the chance that following signs will get you to your gate albeit sometimes with multiple border crossings and screenings.


I've made basically that connection before. It involved a lot of running and yelling at people to get out of the way (particularly on the escalators and moving walkways between C & B--never have figured out why "stand to the right" is such a hard concept to grasp).
