Minimum Connection time at PHX
Hello,
In Mid-may, i am planning to travel from SEA-MCO. As one of the options, i see the below:
US 648 SEA - PHX, Dep: 8:23p Arr: 11:10p
US 1824 PHX - MCO, Dep: 11:35p Arr: 6:33a
Connection time: 25 min
I was wondering if i could make this connection at PHX ( i read somewhere that min layover time suggested for domestic is around 45 min).
On a totally different note, if we cannot make this connection just thinking why it is show up in the results.

With certain exceptions, 25 minutes is the minimum connection in PHX for US to US domestic connections.

Here are the PHX domestic to domestic MCTs. I don't see anything specified for flight 648 to 1824, so it looks like 25 minutes would apply.

It's tight, but it's doable.

While it is probably a legal connection, book at your own risk. Distances between gates can be quite long. Even being CP I never book that tight of a connection in PHX. And it's worse if your connection is onward to USExpress/Skywest. They really love to close the door at 10 minutes before and depart early. Once, my arriving flight from CLT was late due to a mechanical, I got to the gate 8 minutes before departure and they wouldn't let me on. The kicker was the plane then left 4 minutes early. And don't assume there will be any seats available on the next flight out, either.

(though I suppose they could put OP on the super late PHX-CLT connecting to a morning CLT-MCO in the case of a misconnect)

As long as 648 is on time you will be golden.

Bear in mind that US requires that you be at the departure gate no later than T-15. If the flight is in danger of an oversell, you will be off-loaded at that time. The 25 minutes is fine. If the flight is at risk of oversell, the 10 minutes is a tough one (given that the clock starts when the brakes lock on the inbound).

I absolutely would never book a 25 minute connection in PHX. There are many variables at play - flight being late, where you are seated on the plane, how far you have to travel between gates - that an work against you.
I had a 60 minute connection a while back, my plane arrived 20 minutes late, it took several minutes to get the jet bridge to the plane, and the gates could not have been any further apart - even being in F, by the time I made it to my connecting gate, they had already closed the door. Normally 60 minutes is fine, but with a few negative variables and you see what happens. 25 minutes - no way.

I've made plenty of 25 minute connections in PHX, even during morning rush hour, yeah sometimes I was stressing, but always made sure that their would likely be a free seat on the next flight to where I was going.
