A connection is not judged by the gap printed on the ticket. It is judged on the airport's real minimum connecting time, on the delay distribution of the flight bringing you in, and on a question nobody asks: is this passport allowed to TRANSIT here — which is not the same question as being allowed to enter.

How this number is obtained

Convolution, not subtraction

The time available and the time required are two random variables, not two numbers. We draw twenty thousand scenarios and count the ones that hold. The common mistake would be to add up each stage's worst case: that produces a scenario nothing ever reaches, and a tool that tells you to leave the day before. Bad quarter-hours do not all happen on the same day.

Transiting is not entering

A visa matrix answers "may I enter", never "may I transit". Confusing them produces two symmetrical errors: frightening someone who has nothing to present, or letting someone board who will be refused at the desk. We distinguish four situations.

The number of tickets

This is the heaviest variable in the whole itinerary, and it is decided in five seconds at booking. On a single ticket, the airline owns your failure. On two, you own it entirely — and no amount of buffer will hand that protection back.

What we do not know

The official minimum connecting time database is an IATA commercial product. Our values are curated estimates, and every verdict says so. The figure that counts remains your airline's. We show a probability, never a promise.

The record: 166 airports, 104 countries

The minimum connection time depends on the NATURE of the transfer, and no comparison site shows it. Sixty minutes at Paris CDG is enough between two international flights; ninety are needed to go from a domestic to an international one, because you cross a border and a security check again.

These values are curated estimates, and that needs saying plainly: the official IATA database is a commercial product we do not hold. The only binding figure is the one from the airline selling you the ticket. These are here to tell you whether a connection is worth worrying about — not to settle a dispute.

The five airports where the US border is crossed BEFORE the flight

At Dublin, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary, a flight to the United States clears US immigration and customs on the spot, before boarding — then a second security check. You land in the States as if arriving on a domestic flight. Sixty minutes looks comfortable until you know this, and no comparison site mentions it.

"Mixed" keeps the longer of the two directions — domestic to international, or the reverse — because that is the one that makes you miss the plane. "+ terminal" is what to add when the transfer changes terminal; a dash marks a single-pier airport, where the question does not arise.
