Is there a thread or somewhere you can point me that will give me some guidelines on minimum layover times to make connecting flights when flying international? And if I can be more specific MEX, CDG, AMS, and ICN. Thanks All
If you have an ExpertFlyer subscription you can look up the minimum connection time for an airport, bearing in mind the FlyerTalk adage that "minimum connection time" and "sensible connection time" are not always the same thing.

You can also do a Google search for "site:flyertalk.com minimum connection time <airport code>" to find FT thread(s) for a specific airport for more directed advice and experiences/suggestions with regard to MCT vs SCT (bearing in mind that Google search results may include old threads, or ones in other airline forums than the one you may have in mind)

There is often a wiki post at the top of a FT thread (on its first page) with a summary of the EF information as well.

The DL forum has some MCT threads for non-US partner hubs, e.g.

Minimum Connection Transfer Time at Amsterdam (AMS): The Definitive Thread

Although in other cases such threads are also often found in the FlyerTalk Destinations forum appropriate to the location, e.g. for MEX:
