How much time for connection and customs in Charlotte? [duplicate]

My wife and I are flying back from Jamaica to Dallas through Charlotte with a 1-hour-14-minute connection. Do we have time to make our connection? We've never been to Charlotte.

Best Answer

If, presumably, American Airlines sold you that flight combination, you have every expectation of making the connection. If not, they will accommodate you on one of the many CLT-DFW routings available.

American operates out of a single terminal at CLT so you'll never be that far from any gate.

Do you go through customs twice on connecting flights?

You only go through once. If you connect through another country, you will just have to go through security and not customs. Incorrect, it all depends on the country and the airlines you're traveling with. Remember customs and immigration are different things and in some cases you'll clear then in different airports.

Is 2 hours enough for customs?

If you're a US citizen, 2 hours is bare minimum for a US citizen. If these are both one ticket and you miss the connection, UA will be responsible to book you on the next available flight with open seats. Keep in mind they won't bump someone from a flight to make room for you so that could mean waiting several hours.
