Shortest layover you would book a flight

I had a one hour at Frankfurt, Germany and no way you can make a flight there in an hour. They only post the Gate about an hour before the Flight and then you got to haul arse to the Gate and you cannot make it. They put me on a later Flight. I feel pretty good if I got like 2 hours. Gives you time to go to the Toilet and maybe get a Burger.

From what I'm reading online, seems like San Salvador is an easy place for connections as there's no customs or passport control. I'd probably book it just because it's an early morning flight and the chances of it being delayed are much less likely than an afternoon/evening flight.

Where is your final destination? I'm sure rebooking that early in the morning really wouldn't be all that difficult if you did miss the connection

ETA: Charlotte has 30 minute connections if connecting terminal E to terminal E and I think (may be wrong) B to C/vice versa. You may have to run a bit but better than sitting at the airport for an extra hour or four

In many airports it depends on whether you have to change terminals and go thru customs/passport control. Amsterdam is notorious for delays in passport control. Ditto Heathrow. But if you fly in/out of same terminal it's usually no problem

I've had plenty of 30 minute layovers and been fine (had one Tuesday actually). But a 30 minute layover in a foreign country? Screw that.

I typically aim for at least 45 minutes when booking a flight. I don't know if I'd go 30 minutes, but maybe if it's a small airport.

One of the sketchiest airports I have traveled to.

Between the approach and landing coming over the mountain ridge and dropping into the valley, and the mass hysteria at customs. I would a lot more time for arrival and departure.
