One would think. That's what I thought when I booked it.
But the earliest gate arrival I have seen over the last several days is 9:40 pm, and that's best case scenario. But, there are several that are 10:30 pm or later.

If you are really freaking out, you might be able to convince UA to change your BNA-SFO to an earlier flight (UA448) if you want more peace of mind. Then you would have a nice extra 4 hour cushion.
Sometimes I build in a bigger layover, sometimes I let fate decide.
Yeah....considering I have an 11 pm flight, I am not sure what Plan B even looks like, without losing a half a day. I looked at other flights through other carriers, and there isn't anything remotely close.
Unfortunately, I can't do the earlier flight. There is a 4:57 that would be cutting it pretty tight, but that flight has two connections, 49 minutes and 40 minutes respectively. Which seems like too much of a gamble.
Yup.....I might have to let the Lord/fate decide.
