Is 46 minutes enough time to connect to a flight in Houston? This would be on Continental. We would be flying in from Corpus Christi on one of the airline's regional partners and connecting to either another plane with that same partner or a regular Continental flight. Will we have enough time? No kids, just my 60 year old dad and I. I would guess we will have plenty of time, right?

Thanks

IF you're on time should not be a problem. I've done less than 30 minute connections between terminals there walking at a brisk pace.

If you're on the partner that flies regional jets you'll likely come into terminal B and likely be leaving out of C or E. C and E are connected but you'll have to take a train from B to either. Pretty efficient operation, hike to the train, go up a level, get on, get off, go down, hike to gate.

If you're on the partner that flies the prop planes you'll likely go into terminal A where shuttle bus is the connection mode and I've had mixed experiences. The bad is - land, wait for shuttle, go to terminal A, wait for shuttle to C/E at a gate with staff who have absolutely no sense of urgency whatsover, take shuttle to C. The good is - land, not 1 but 2 shuttles show up, 1 to A, 1 to B/C/E thus eliminating a transfer, informative, energetic driver so go figure. Hopefully, the good experience becomes the norm.

What I'd suggest, since you don't have a lot of slack, is check the departure from Houston of the flight to Corpus that turns around to be your outbound to Houston. If there is a significant delay and its not a ground stop in Houston start investigating alternatives..that will give you an hour or so lead on everyone else who won't know its delayed until they post it.
