1 hour 55 minute connection in PHL?

[sotagals]

We entered an empty immigration hall at PHL and were through in minutes - took about 20 minutes for our bags.

There were loads of desks open and plenty of machines. It depends who is there in front of you but 2 hours should be enough unless you are really unlucky.

Onward gates are easy to find I would say a max 10 minute walk at a fast clip.

All sounds positive, thanks everyone

We had exactly this connection time in April - was loads of time as immigration was empty when we arrived

We were only travelling with hand luggage so missed the bag collection/drop but - but we saw plenty of people from our original flight during the second leg - so it must have been fine for them too

Yes it is doable, been this route more than once in both directions.

However, that is, it is doable as long as everything goes to plan.

Keep in mind they board the plane anything from 25-45 mins in advance (though usually on average it is around 30 mins prior). This gives you around 1h25mins as long as your initial flight arrives on time.

Check that you are arriving and departing from the same terminal (think you probably should be), but if for any reason this changes get ready to haul your butt across the airport fast or ask a staff member to give you a ride as the opposite terminals are pretty far away from each other.

You have to clear customs and immigration when you arrive at Philidelphia before boarding your flight to Orlando. We prefer a 3 hour layover in case of any delay leaving the UK. So providing no delay in the UK and no long wait at immigration/customs 2 hours should be OK for you.

Quick live update !

The flight is lovely.
Half empty so I've got two seats to myself.
The kids got a AA wings badge on take off, the hostess said you've earned your wings, the kids around me seems to like it.

Lots of leg room and I am a larger lady.

Free ear phones, great choice of movies currently watching Beauty and the Beast.

Nice meal
BBQ chicken,
Crackers cheese
Salad and dressing
Breadrole
Apple pie
Bottle of water and I had a can of cranberry.

$19 for full flight wifi
£12 for 2 hours

Thumbs up from me so far.

Think we are just going to have to go for it, we have booked wheelchair assistance for my mum so the rest of us are able to walk quite quickly, the airline is saying its a legal connection time, so we will just have to wait and see, however should for whatever reason we miss connect, then what? what happens from there?, has anyone experienced this?.

We are doing this route next week and from memory we have 2hrs 5mins.

How do you find out which gates you will be arriving at and departing from please?

If you miss your connection they will get you on the next available flight, however, bear in mind this maybe the next morning, but you would be put up in a hotel over night and given vouchers for food. Had this happen a few years ago transiting through Boston, really wasn't that bad.

We also fly this time through Philly lad at 1.35pm and take off again at 3.30pm.
