A 35-minute connection... bad idea?
I want to fly from PDX to BUF and the only flights I see are either 1) one stop with a 35-minute layover at Midway 2) two stops with a 50-minute layover at LAS and then a 1:40 layover at MDW. Is taking that first flight a terrible idea? If I miss that connection, am I screwed because of the reduction in flights due to COVID? I really don't want two stops. I would fly direct if I could but I don't see any, even on other airlines. Other airlines do have longer layovers though. I just need to get away from these wildfires and this smoky air.
