Cayman Airways connection time at GCM

[SiDziner]

Anyone know how much time I should allow for a connection between Cayman Air and American Airlines? My AA flight from GCM leaves at 410PM. Cayman Air has flights from Little Cayman to GCM at 850AM, 1020AM with a stop in Cayman Brac, or 210PM. The 210PM flight arrives GCM 245PM. is 1 hour 25 min enough to deplane, collect bags, check in at AA, and get through security?

When are you traveling? It should be enough time, but it is a gamble. The flight from LYB might be delayed (often!), and your bag(s) might not get loaded and have to wait for the next flight. Baggage handing can be slow, check-ins can be long. I'd take the earlier flight from LYB....but I do not like to live dangerously.

1:25 on a sat seems tight. I wouldn’t want to risk it. We are taking the the 8:50 for a 12:45 flight and that will be on a Friday.

You have non-stops at 0850 (KX4421) and 1410 (KX4723), and via Cayman Brac at 1020 (KX4422). I'd skip all the possible connections with plane changes at 0750 and 1020. For me, KX4723 is a gamble. I'd go for 4421 or 4422.
Nov 22 is the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Not a good travel day.

thanks for confirming what i already knew, but didn't want to admit. we booked the 1020 flight.

I was in Owen Roberts Airport on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago and the line to clear security took 2 hours. What a zoo.

Heard about and see that to many times. We do everything possible not to travel on a Saturday.
