49 Minutes at Miami

My wife was booked by a convention organizer for a 49 minute connection at Miami, flying American.

I had looked up the arrival from ORD, and it normally arrived 10 too 20 minutes early.

While printing out her boarding passes, AA.Com offered Group 4 Priority boarding for $40. I'm glad I spent the money.

The plane was 10 minutes late into MIA and went into Concourse E. Her departure was at the south end of D

By the time she got to the gate, after taking the train, they had called Group 5. She walked into the Priority lane and got right on.

Coming back was the reverse problem. She had a 4 hour connection at MIA. She could have easily caught an earlier flight, even after going through Customs.
