Short time between Connecting Flights

holyhead

Hey Im flying Dublin-Newark-San Fran-Las Vegas-Washington Dulles-Dublin. Booked with ebookers flying with United Airlines. Had 80 minutes between connecting flights in Washington. This has been changed to 67 minutes. All flights are with United. Are they obliged to look after me if I dont make the flight back to Dublin?

If you did it all in the one booking then yes.

You should be fine.
United should be able to give you your boarding pass for the Washington - Dublin flight, when they give you the one for the Las-Vegas - Washington flight.
I haven't flown from Dulles, but generally, because you are sticking with a single airline, the gate for the Dublin flight will generally be close to the arrival gate.
You should not need to exit or re-enter through the TSA security check.

I've done tight lay overs loads of times through US airports. In my experience though, if your lay over is less than 90 mins and you have to change terminals don't expect your baggage to go with you.

Twice in 5 trips this happened to me but the bags did arrive the next day.

I had exactly the same transit in Dulles. The United flights will land/depart from the same part of the airport (Concourse C/D).

If it's all on time, it'll be fine. You'll get boarding passes at Vegas for the Dublin flight, and bags will be checked through. For me, the Vegas flight landed at one end of D concourse and the Dublin flight departed from the far end of the C concourse. By the time I'd walked from one gate to the next, the Dublin flight was boarding. No time to dawdle, but no long waiting around either

Luggage made it fine.

Of course, if the Vegas flight is very late for whatever reason you might run into a bump, but as said it's United's job to look after you then

Buffybot thanks for your reply. Did you have to go through security?

BuffyBot

Nope - just walk from gate to gate.

United love tight connections. I have less then 20 minute connections which unfortunately I made! Was praying for a delay so I could get a day in California but the one time the flight lands early. Your connection should be fine
