I am considering a flight connecting in DFW. AA all the way, MSY- DFW- XNA. However, connection is only 49 minutes (the wiki says 50 minutes MCT), and the incoming flight (AA1781), according to google, is often delayed.
But the next best flight, earlier in the day, is double the price... worth the risk? If I get stuck in DFW, does the airline have to pay for a hotel? I am too old to sleep in the airport :P
