Connect time in Vienna?
 
I just noticed a MSQ-VIE-FRA-DFW flight I booked recently only has a 35-minute connect time in Vienna; is this going to be sufficient? I'm dual US/UK passport would that help speed things up by using my UK passport going non-Schengen to Schengen?

Should be, VIE is one of the smallers hub airports in the EU. It is all easy walking.

Should be okay and in any event there are lots of VIE-FRA flights.
I've had sub-30 minute connections at VIE and yet to run into a problem with that.

Ok thanks! I also checked flightstats on the MSQ-VIE flight, it seems it does arrive early fairly often.. yet says the avg delay is 13 mins..

If I did miss the flight, there's routings available via CDG or LHR; no other flights/routings via FRA would get me back to Waco on the same day.

Yeah, VIE is a very convenient and small hub airport. If you use your UK passport to go through the immigration line, you shouldn't have any problems getting to your connecting flight on time. Just don't get distracted by all the shops in the terminal;) The center part of the terminal is like a shopping mall:)

I connected through Vienna a couple of weeks ago, the connection time was 25 minutes and I was nervous as we were a few minutes late inbound. From door opening of my first flight to push back of the connection took 16 minutes. I made it easily and so did my bags. I was impressed!

There is an extensive thread on connecting in VIE in the M&M forum: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...-austrian.html
