CLT International Quick Turn
 

Hello,

I am trying out AA this year for the first time as all of my flying has always been through UAL. I have a trip scheduled from CLE to PUJ with a 40 min turn in CLT. I am flying First/Business.

Can anyone with experience tell me if 40 min is enough time for an international turn at CLT. I've only flown in and out of CLT on UAL and it was always domestic. Thanks for any help you can provide!

A "turn" usually means that you are flying in, and then immediately turning around to fly back to your point of origin. Are you asking whether 40 minutes is enough time to fly PUJ-CLT, clear Customs and Immigration, and then fly back to PUJ? The answer to that question is, "No."

If you're asking whether 40 minutes is enough time to connect in CLT while traveling on a domestic flight from CLE to an international departure to PUJ, I suspect that the connection is "legal," meaning it meets AA's Minimum Connecting Time at CLT for a D-I connection. If your incoming flight is on time, you should be able to make the connection. But 40 minutes would not be enough time to connect in the reverse direction.
