I have a TIGHT layover at DTW going to EVV. NW754 is scheduled for arrival at 4:17pm and NW5803 is scheduled for departure at 4:50pm, and I need to get from concourse A over to B or C in about 5 to 10 minutes to catch NW5803. It would be nice to be as close as possible to the exit on NW754 when I arrive so I can get off as fast as possible, hence being able to get one of the P seats.

I have also been told that if I ask the FA that I have a tight layover, they may let me deplane after first class is off. Any truth to that?

Thanks for any help.
That is a *tight* connection -- there's a trick I can recommend, while the plane is taxing call the 800 number to get the status (and gate!) of your second flight -- that way you'll know which way to turn when you get out of the tunnel !

Another trick -- if you can't get in FC -- try to get a seat in the exit row near the second door of the 757 that you'll be on.

Good luck
