What are the odds of making this connection? We have a Disneyworld package booked that starts on the 5th. So no room for flying out of ATL later than the 4th if we were to miss our connection.
Don’t chance this connection. You have essentially zero room for error. Even if you get lucky and make it through immigration, customs, security, etc, in a timely manner, if your flight is late and technically no longer meets minimum connection time, Delta’s computer systems are likely to boot you off your connection and give away your seats. Sadly, ATL gate agents won’t care and you’ll
be rebooked to the next available flight, which could be hours or days away.
Book something with a longer connection.
