Since they are on the same airline, the significant savings was worth the risk of her not making the connecting flight - if she missed it, they would put her on the next one.

The question is in reference to luggage. She will try to use just a carry on, but I am not sure if that will be enough room. Will there be enough time for her luggage to be transferred to the Detroit-to-SaoPaulo plane?

The connection coming back is longer.

I've never had such a short connection, and would appreciate advice.
