Ok, I may have gotten myself in a bit of a pickle. We fly out of KC at 8:15 on Sunday, arriving at DFW at 10:00. Our connecting flight to Cozumel is at 10:40. American tells me a legal transfer at DFW is 35 minutes. My experience suggests this is possible, but it will be cutting it to the last possible second. The cost to change the flight to the 6:00 flight out of KC is $150 pp.
2 questions:
1) Is this connection possible? We both have a carry-on and personal item, and my wife is 15 weeks pregnant (I know, I caught ten layers of hell over this last night);
2) American tells me that, officially, you can't fly stand by on the earlier flight with international travel. But, the airport check-in people may allow it. Does anyone have any experience getting on an earlier flight with international travel? Particularly out of KC? Expedia says there are about 30-40 available seats.
Thanks, I would really like to avoid the $300 upgrade charge, if at all possible.
