Is 1hr 50mins A Safe Connection at LAX?
I am not a regular poster on this board, though beginning to use my SkyTeam membership a little more.
I plan the following trip in late August:
Leave
Thu, Aug 30 Delta Air Lines 7728
operated by ExpressJet Airlines
Depart: 4:45pm
Arrive: 6:50pm Acapulco, Mexico (ACA)
Los Angeles, CA (LAX)
1 stop Economy 4hr 5min Embraer RJ135-145 View seats
Change planes. Time between flights: 1hr 50min
Delta Air Lines 7697
operated by ExpressJet Airlines
Depart: 8:40pm
Arrive: 9:55pm Los Angeles, CA (LAX)
Las Vegas, NV (LAS)
Economy 1hr 15min Embraer RJ135-145 View seats
Total duration: 7hr 10min
I will have a largish bag, so will need to claim it, and have a UK passport so may experience some lines through immigration - although both flights arrive/depart the same terminal (which is why I am suffering ExpressJet ERJs to LAS).
Is this 1hr 50mins sensible and achievable connection, or would I be best advised to have a night in LAX and make the journey to LAS early the next day?
Any other tips for ExpressJet appreciated! ^
