Am I going to make this connection??
I dont fly AA that often but on this trip I got a connection that seems pretty tight.
LIT-DFW
Eagle 3228 shows it SHOULD arrive in DFW @ 10:40AM
I connect with AA 539 thats scheduled to depart at 11:25AM
Am I going to make it?

Yes, if your first flight is ontime or close to it. (Assuming, of course, that you don't disappear into the bathroom to change a kid's diaper for 20 minutes during boarding.)

Assuming no delays on the inbound,and Skylink working as usual, no problem.

I do look at those.... but Ive found the best source of info comes from someone who may fly that route.
My last connection on AA was pretty short, but of course it was
1.) all the way on the opposite side of the airport.
2.) oops, got there and the FA gave us the wrong gate and we had to RUN with kids in tow to get back to almost where we started.....
So I ask not out of ignorance, but in a qwest for the best advise... from those with experience.

You will come into B.
You will leave out of A,C, or D. Skylink is your friend.
If you are travelling with kids, be aware that if they soil themselves, AA will not hold the flight, and since it is after 10 am, there will be no milk on the flight to PHX, so plan accordingly.

Since you are asking us to guess, I guess "No, you will not make that connection". If I'm right, do I get a prize?
