American Airlines turned my 3 hour layover in Dallas to 45 minutes. Can I change it?
I bought these tickets in about February. I'm going from San Antonio > Dallas > London > Nice originally I was going to have a 3 hour layover in Dallas..which I liked since it is such a huge airport. I just looked at my itinerary and it's now a 45 minute layover. There are flights from San Antonio to Dallas every few hours.. Can I change it? I'm just nervous I won't make the connection, because it would be a huge mess if the flight got delayed and I was unable to make my London flight. Or do you think I can handle it? it's all American Airlines. Except British Airways when I get to London

45 minutes is tight, but it's impossible to answer unless you also include airlines involved.
2 :
Firstly, they would not have changed it unless it was still within the minimum connecting times, and your checked in luggage will be transferred automatically. All you have to do is walk from one gate to another in the same terminal. However, try phoning them and expressing your concerns - they MAY decide to increase the delay without charge.

try flying stand by you can watch this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmFUBudBPm8&feature=channel_page

First the change occured most probably because of a schedule change or cancelation of the original flight. 45 minutes is enough, for Domestic/International transfer when it is only American involved, but it is better to have a little more time between flights, when you have more flights involved. Call American (or your travel agent, if you booked with an agent) and ask them to rebook you on an earlier flight from San Antonio to Dallas. They should do this with no charge, as it would be considered as involuntary rebooking.

Please see my reply to your question Pt. Viejo - Quepos (MA). Same applies, although there is a shuttle flight - actually 3 flights daily, which get you to SJ before noon, cost about $ 56.00 schedule shown is 2009/10 - not totally up to date. Check with Sansa direct. http://www.flysansa.com/eng/par/iti/itimyiti.asp?hd=5 Pura vida!

Ehh I-10's hit or miss. I haven't been to San Antonio since early 08 but I know they were doing construction all over the place on I-10 back then. I'd leave at 6 just to be safe.
2 :
If you leave right at 6:15 you should make it by 7am actually you may make it to the airport in about 35 minutes. You should leave at 6am to be safe in case there is an accident. The rule of thumb is that you need to check in 45 minutes early and you are 'giving' yourself an hour....Leave at 6am.
3 :
Usually around 6:15 the traffic is not so bad. You may want to leave just a little bit earlier though to make absolutely sure you get there on time. I would not leave any later than 6:00 personally and maybe even earlier if I had to park in the long term parking and needed a ride to the terminal.
4 :
I used to go to UTSA and if you take i10 south to 410 east to the airport in the middle of traffic it will take you 30 minutes. At 6 am you would get there in 15-20 mins. But still leave at 615 or sooner, better safe than sorry. Hope this helps.
5 :
10 minutes, no stress.
6 :
Why not take Death Loop 1604 around to 281, then 281 south to the airport? I'd figure a half hour that early in the morning. (Sorry, I know it hasn't been called the Death Loop since the mid-80s, but it sticks in my head, especially if you say it with the kind of voice that those douchebag wrestling announcers use.)

Connecting Flights
Connecting Flights?
I want to fly with my 3 kids to Seatlle, I live in Austin and the tickets are too high. If I buy the tickets in San Antonio the are much cheaper. The flight from San Antonio to Seattle connects in Houston. Since Im not familiar with San Antonio, and my sister lives in Houston (like 2blocks from Airport) could I catch the conecting flight to Seattle from Houston? Even if I buy the tickets that orginally leave San Antonio. I checked the tickets from Houston to Seattle and they are super high.

No you cannot do that. If you did not show up at your originating city of San Antonio, the airline would say you are a no-show and will give your seat to someone else. I can understand your frustration with the airline ticket prices. Here in Cincinnati, we are ranked highest in average ticket price. Delta operates over 90% of the flights out of here so they charge a premium. People will drive to surrounding cities to catch a flight just to connect in Cincinnati before arriving at their final destination.
