Though you are still then at the whims of passengers, in the sense of .. how many will actually heed the crew's instructions? In my experience, post-landing, not many. | |

| Sep 24, 2016 at 22:16 | comment | added | keshlam | The question should always be, can you make the connection if the first flight is delayed. 40 minutes at best leaves very little room for error. | |
| Sep 24, 2016 at 19:59 | comment | added | Fattie | the simple answer is "no", no need to make this QA complicated. | |

| Sep 24, 2016 at 13:26 | comment | added | Calchas | The Minimum Connect Time for this is 1:10 [although some carriers insist on two hours for this]. 40 minutes? It's narrowly possible if you know your way around, you can power walk, you land early, your departing flight is late, and you are lucky with queues. You might want to seek to get this rearranged now. The problem is if you leave it longer, you may find that there are no seats on later departing services. But then again if the airline already says it's thirty minutes late and it hasn't even landed yet, who knows how late it will really be. | |
