35 minute layover in Atlanta. Doable but asking for trouble?

Can be very difficult. Depends on how long you are on runway and how far you have to go (in the terminal and between terminals).

I've had a 1 hr 30 min at ATL turn into a 30 min connection from a delay and it was a rough run, take the train, and more running. 35 min is way too close for comfort, you'll have to hustle through there. Question: is this on Delta or Southwest? If it's southwest I think most of their flights operate in the same terminal, which would save you two escalators and a train ride (~5 min).

While the gate agents may know where you are coming from, their main concern is getting the flight out on time. Unless this is the last flight of the night, airlines have become more concerned with following their schedules than caring if you don't make a connection by a few minutes. Sometimes you'll find a gate agent willing to wait on you, but more than likely it won't happen. Just be prepared for what will happen if you don't make the connection

What date/ where will you be flying from? Nashville? As of today, it looks like the late night BNA-ATL flight is an MD88 and the ATL-MSP flight is an MD90. Both of those flights tend to go in/out of terminals T, A or B so I'd say you have a pretty good chance of them being in the same terminal.

All depends on which terminals you get in/out of


But close

Doable. But like you said, little room for error. 35 min is the legal minimum connection time in ATL on Delta.

Just make sure you're not in the last row of a 757 on the inbound, and if you're on a regional jet that you don't gate valet (pink tag) your bag.

It's an MD 90 in and a 757 out.

Not a problem if you keep moving. Those Hudson stores can be distracting.

I had to run through Atlanta airport twice, not fun but made it just in time both times so maybe they do hold it.
