Connecting time

Please tell me I'm not nuts! I just booked a Southwest flight that has a 70 minute connection time at Midway. I've never been thru that airport, please tell me it is easy to navigate!

That's more than enough time for your connection.

We have that same flight...GRR-MDW-MCO with only 70 minutes. I'm nervous too, but our trip doesn't actually start until the next day, so if we miss the connection, we should still get to Disney in plenty of time

boarding usually starts 30 min prior

Midway isn't big like O'Hare, 70 minutes will be fine. 70 would be more than enough even at O'Hare. I only worry when a connection is less than 30 min but I also know that an airline won't put two connecting flights together if it's not a valid connection time. The shorter times don't account for planes being late but on time arrival of your first flight.
