Does anyone have connections with American Airlines?!!! HELP please!?
my fiance is flying in from San Diego and there flight is running a little bit late and is scheduled to arrive in Dallas (DFW) at 10:40 and his connecting flight from DFW to San Antonio leaves at 10:50. He has to get from Terminal C to Terminal D ASAP. Is there anyway they will hold the flight... do you think he'll make it? Now the flight from San Diego says it's arriving in Dallas at 10:33! I hope he makes it! His flight arrived in Dallas at 10:36 and its says flight 550 to San Antonio isn't scheduled to leave Dallas until 11:20 but now it's terminal A! I think he will make it! I KNOW he will! :)

if there are enough people on the transfer flight they have to delay it.

i really doubt it you can bet his first flight will be later 90% chance. usually all planes are late. he will be having to wait for another flight. good luck,

It's hard to say...they won't hold a plane for just 1 or 2 people. If there are a lot of people connecting, they may wait a few minutes, but not much more than that. All you can do is hope his connecting flight is a little bit delayed. I don't want to worry you any more than you already are....but to be honest...the aircraft door typically closes 10 minutes prior to the departure time. Meaning the door for his connecting flight will close when he is just landing.

Thats a tight one. The answer is because it is the last flight of the night they may indeed hold it..depending on how many other passengers are booked on that connection. the worst case if the flight was delayed due to mechanical they will put him on the first flight out any carrier..second if it was delayed to to weather they will rebook him in the am on AA. Chances of the hold are pretty good as it is so tight...I have been in the airline industry for 30 years and I would hold and actually have run over to other gates..met the plane and ran people to the connection... Good luck!! Jennifer!!!
