If my flight is late, will the connecting one wait

If my flight is late, will the connecting one wait?
I will be flying from charlotte, nc to dallas ft worth in july. My flight is supposed to arrive in dallas at 8:40 am and leave out of dallas for mexico city at 10:08 am. I know dallas has their train that takes you from gate to gate, but with their reputation of delaying flights...i'm a little uneasy.What do you guys think? Would the connecting flight wait for us?

No your connecting flight will not wait for you, I had the same problem a month ago, arriving at nc but due to weather problems we landed 1:50 later, I lost my connecting flight, so I called the airline and they put me on the next flight that was going out, and do not worry about your luggage, they'll put it in the next flight too. Good Luck =)

Aitlines sometimes delay a flight for a few minutes if an earlier flight is late AND there are >> many << passengers on the late flight who need to connect. However, you can't count on it. The 1 hour 28 mnutes should be enough time between flights in Dallas. The airline will put you on the next flight to your destination if you miss the connection.

No they won't. I had that happen to me (Columbus, OH to St. Louis, MO) and had to wait 8 HOURS in the stupid airport for the next flight to West Texas.
4 :
The connecting flight probably won't wait--if there is a large group on the Charlotte flight going to Mexico City they might, note might, wait. If you arrive any time after about 9:15 AM tell the flight attendant that you have a 10:08 connection and ask them to have transportation waiting for the plane to take you to the next gate.
5 :
No, it will probably not wait, unless there's a large group of people on your flight from Charlotte going to Mexico City as well, and even then, there's only a slim chance that they'll hold the plane up for you (chances are better if they're ahead of schedule and if the weather forecast is good). If you *do* miss your connecting flight, go to the counter at your gate and ask them where you need to go to get rebooked. In the meantime (while you're in line), call the airline's 1-800 number - you might be able to be rebooked by phone faster. Don't worry about your luggage - it will get to the airport one way or another since it's got the code on its tag. Good luck with your flights.

no, since the connecting lfight is different it will not wait. i have experienced a delta flight being late thus i missed a cathay pacific flight to hong kong.(but the terminal attendant that i spoke to the day aftewr said the cathay pacific flight was delayed so i think it could be a coincidence but dont count on it at all.

Flying with a 55 minute connection at Charlotte airport. Will my bags make my connecting flight in 55 min

Flying with a 55 minute connection at Charlotte airport. Will my bags make my connecting flight in 55 min.?
I have a flight from Minneapolis to Cancun with a connection in Charlotte on US Airways. I've never been to the airport before in Charlotte and am a bit concerned that my checked bags won't make the 2nd flight as the connection time is only 55 minutes. Worst case scenario, I guess, is if they don't make the connection there is another flight later that day. Would the bags automatically be put on the next flight if they didn't make the first? Or would I have to request that? Maybe I have nothing to worry about in the first place. Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

This is within the minimum connection time at CLT. The bags should make the transfer. If they do not, they will be put on the next available flight to Cancun and a message sent to Cancun advising them of the new routing. You do not have to request this. Regards, Dan

If both flights are US then they most likely connect at the same terminal. As a travel agent my sytem will tell me if the minimum connection time is not met so I don't think anyone would sell you a ticket without a legal connection time. I would say your luggage will make it and I'm 90% -95% sure.
3 :
With a connection time of 55 minutes you should not have a problem. If for some reason your bags don't make your connecting flight they should automatically be put on the later flight (although I'm sure they will make the connection since this is an average connecting time between flights). Although Charlotte is a very busy airport (U.S. Airways' largest hub) the terminal and concourses themselves are not spread out over a huge area and they all connect easily. Have a great trip!

Do any airlines fly direct from London to Charlotte NC? And Dallas or Chicago to Charlotte

Do any airlines fly direct from London to Charlotte NC? And Dallas or Chicago to Charlotte?
I have only been able to find indirect connecting at either Dallas or Chicago, which makes the journey so long! Or can anyone tell me where they suggest i fly to (London to Dallas, Dallas to Charlotte or London to Chicago, Chicago to Charlotte) which would have the shortest flight time? Thanks
