[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD coming back from college, bought a United ticket with 40 minutes between flights in Chicago. At first glance that seemed ok, but then we realized that planes close their doors 30 mins before take-off so basically she has 10 minutes to get off one plane and board the other plane (in the unlikely event the first flight is even on time.) What recourse do we have to get this situation fixed without extra charge? Shouldn't this be on United for selling such a ticket in the first place? [/quote]

Likely not a good idea.  Most of the United Flights (united express) To/From Smaller airports go from Terminal 2.  Regular united flights to larger airports depart/arrive at Terminal 1 (B/C).  It can take 10-14 mins to walk from the farthest gate in Terminal 2 just to the entry point to Terminal 1.  Then, if you have to get to C (the underground moving walkway with lights) and are at the endpoint (walkway enters at midpoint), it could take another 15 mins to get there.  So yes, it can take 25-30 mins to get between gates, and that's once you get off the plane.

I don't schedule Ohare United with less than 75-90 mins.
