Thanks for the information. I hadn't realised he'd be facing such a long walk.

If the flight is significantly delayed from IAD, though, there will be problems. As long as it's on time or early you're fine.
That's quite a chance to take though isn't it!

Well we didn't book this one. The originally booked flight had about 80 mins at Denver. Is there any point at all in phoning United and asking for him to be swapped onto the earlier flight from the UK, or would this just be a waste of time? The flight was booked through the United website, not via a travel agent.
