I am actually traveling on Thanksgiving Day which I have done before and tends to be a lighter trave

I have FF tickets on hold to go to Paris over Thanksgiving. I live in Palm Springs CA. Originally I was looking at flying out of LAX with good connection times. LAX is at least a 2 hour drive minimum from my home. This flight connected in Chicago.
then I found a flight from PSP to DFW to CDG. This is ideal because travel in italy PSP is a very small airport literally 15 minutes from my house and I could take a taxi to the airport versus leaving my car for 8 days at LAX.
The problem is that the connection in DFW to the Paris flight is only 40 minutes. I already called American because I thought this was a very short connection time but she said it is a legal connection. All international flights leave out of the D gates. I think my flight travel in italy would be arriving in the C gates. If I miss the flight to CDg the next flight isnt until the next day at 5pm.
I would take the PSP flight. If you misconnected, it would be on AA to get you to Paris; rather than make you wait a day they'd probably travel in italy put you on a London flight travel in italy (numerous, either on AA or BA metal) and get you to Paris from London. But 40 min. is indeed "legal" at DFW, and with the Skylink trains you can get pretty quickly from one terminal to another.
"Over Thanksgiving" is a bit open-ended. Obviously some days in that period will be pretty chaotic at major airports; I'd definitely pick an airside transfer at DFW over having to drive to LAX and deal with that airport during travel in italy a holiday period.
I am actually traveling on Thanksgiving Day which I have done before travel in italy and tends to be a lighter travel day if I remeber correctly. I never thought about AA connecting me to London as an option if I miss the flight .Good advice, thanks,
travel in italy Rastaguy, I think you might be thinking of the old TrAAin at DFW. That hasn't existed in years. The airport now has the Skylink system that connects all the terminals. Trains run in both directions, not just counterclockwise the way the TrAAin did.
kelbo, there's just no way I'd book this itinerary. I hope you haven't pressed that button yet. AA is about to do a major round of layoffs and has a lot of worker issues, causing many cancelled flights and missed connections. Plus, air traffic is particularly heavy during the holidays. I think the chance that something travel in italy could go wrong is far too great for this fall.
Beyond travel in italy that, frequent fliers travel in italy (unless they are Platinum level or above) have the lowest priority in getting rerouted, so you might actually sit for a day at DFW waiting for a flight out. On a frequent flier ticket, the airline doesn't travel in italy have to put you on a competitor's flight, though AA could put you on a BA flight out of DFW connecting through London.
But I would add that I have both made and missed travel in italy 40-minute connections in DFW. The connection process is much improved over the old AATrain days, but it's still a very big airport that requires a lot of walking.
Storms aren't a major issue in the DFW area during Thanksgiving. Thunderstorm travel in italy season is over, and winter weather rarely arrives that soon. And I wouldn't worry about air traffic delays out of Palm Springs if the flight is nonstop to DFW.
