Do I have a chance? Landing in Terminal C leaving in D. I think maybe but probably not. What say you? Delay caused by inbound aircraft delay in Louisville.

another thing, because of the dfw weather today, more than likely the lft will be running a few minutes late

Does the airline know this? They usually go out of their way to make sure you make that connection.

Yeah, I don't think that's possible at DFW.

Terminal C is not next to Terminal D. Sky Link is the answer, but it's not the next stop.

It doesn't matter. The agent working the LFT gate has a screen that is monitoring connections. They know who is coming from where and if the numbers are of substance, will adjust the departure time if needed.

Realistically you have about 15 minutes from wheels blocked to get on your next flight. Which is doable, IMO.

Why would he be waiting on luggage at baggage claim for a domestic connection?

they'll be aware of connections, especially if it's the last flight of the day, there's wx in the area, so the 9:20 might be a little late, and full because of the earlier cancellation, just hustle on over to the gate, you can get anywhere on the airport in 10 minutes or less on sky link
