We are supposed to be taking our covid delayed trip to the BVI's in November. Since it looks like we *may* be able to go I am finally starting to pay attention to the details. Of course in the past few months our flights have changed multiple times and I haven't worried about it too much because I figured that there was no point worrying about it until I knew that the trip was on. It takes three flights to get between San Diego and Tortola, so there are a lot of combinations of flights going on here.
I just checked the AA site and there is yet another change but this one actually matters. We are down to a 40 minute layover in Charlotte on the return flight. I have looked online and I honestly don't see any other flight options that help. If anything it appears as though other flights have been eliminated, so I think that we are stuck with this. I even looked at connecting through a different city and everything involves an overnight layover. We aren't checking bags are are pretty mobile but our seats are in the middle of the plane so we definitely won't be the first ones off. I suppose that we can pay to upgrade our seats to something closer to the front of the plane but even a short delay on the outbound flight will probably kill the connection anyway. Is a 40 min connection in Charlotte actually doable? According to the schedule we land at 5:58 and depart at 6:38. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
