I highlighted "normal circumstances" as 2 hours is generally sufficient. However, there are times when it isn't due to numerous various factors. I have flown back and forth enough to encounter several of these abnormal situations, some even resulting in missed flights. Consequently, I look for 3 hour connections, but if not available, will go with something less that approaches 2 hours.
