Unfortunately I completely forgot about the Eagles Nest, and it looks like that’s where the TUS flight leaves from.
So if my inbound is on time, what are the odds I make this connection?
I wouldn’t mind ponying up for 5star if it means it greatly increases my chances. Thoughts?
If your inbound flight is on time then it will be no problem. Sure, not a lot of extra time for any bathroom or lounge breaks, but you'll make it without issue. 5-Star would be a complete waste IMO.
