For those of you who has flown through Charlotte coming home

[Odinson]

We had an AA connection from ORD to Philadelphia, PHL to MBJ last year with a 57 min layover. AA is not supposed to make reservations with layovers that can't work - at least according to their customer service. We made the connection easily with time to spare.

In Nov, we have the same itinerary with a 50 min layover in PHL. Originally had the flight leaving ORD at 5AM with a longer layover, now leaving at 7 AM. We will try again and hope we don't have to alert the Club MoBay about any changes. On these early flight, they usually have the airplane waiting there overnight so I think there is a better chance of on time departure. The last four flights I've taken were all delayed waiting for the incoming machinery.

I understand that we got pretty lucky last year, hoping for more of the same - really wish AA would keep direct flights to MBJ from ORD all year long and all week long when they do offer them. Every flight is totally full so I know the market is there. Every Air JA flight ORD to MBJ was also full and that didn't keep them around so who knows how this business works.

We'll just keep rolling the dice until Rob finishes the space/time portal.

We have gone thru Charlotte on our way back to Hartford for years. Even with 1 hour and 20 minute layover we have always made our next flight with time to grab a snack. Maybe flying mid week makes a difference.
