Thanks so much.
~35 minutes too much connection time
Ask on the MDE flight what your gate for DEN flight is. It’s near imposible to miss the DEN flight if you are waiting in the line to be screened at the gate security checkpoint (I have never seen them leave with people still in this line, as it’s on them to process everyone). Obv if your flight from MDE is quite delayed, then that’s a different story
