If you are going to miss a connection anywhere though DFW should be able to sort it out without too much delay although at that time of day you are probably looking at an overnight stay (book the Grand Hyatt/ not Hyatt Regency, I won’t make that mistake again, and claim it yourself is my suggestion but you need to be prepared to cover the cost if they (the airline) or your insurer don’t). To my mind the bigger risk is a delay on the A380 as opposed to immigration. The later you are though the quieter immigration will be.
Oh, and God bless GE.
Thank you for the very helpful reply. We still have a few weeks before we travel so I’ll ponder whether it makes sense to pay for Allways! I have also considered the AA 5* service. We are travelling in J, but we booked through BA. I assume we can still use AA’s 5* service (if it’s available at DFW)…
The ‘380 worries me a lot. We had an engine tech issue the last time we flew it back in March and it seems that the 193 is beset by delays or cancellations this year.
