Map both gates
CLT's interactive map can estimate walking time between selected points across terminal levels. Use the actual arriving and departing gates when they are assigned.
Decision value
Use evidence before action
Separate schedule from usable time
The itinerary window includes deplaning, walking, boarding cutoff and any baggage or security process—not just the distance between concourses.
Keep unknowns visible
If a gate, boarding cutoff or baggage transfer rule is not confirmed, record it as UNKNOWN and verify it with the operating airline.

- Use the operating airlines—not only a marketing carrier—to confirm whether the flights share one protected itinerary and what happens after disruption.
- Use CLT's current interactive map for the assigned points and save the map result; repeat if either gate changes.
- Ask the departing airline when boarding closes for the exact flight. Do not treat scheduled departure as the time available to reach the gate.
- Confirm whether bags transfer automatically or must be collected and rechecked, especially across separate tickets or an international arrival.
- Confirm whether the itinerary requires a checkpoint, customs or immigration step and use current official instructions for that process.
- Account for deplaning position, mobility or assistance needs, children, unfamiliar wayfinding and the consequences of missing the last practical onward flight.

FAQ
Scope questions
Does CLT publish one safe connection time?
This planner does not claim one. The airline itinerary, gates, boarding cutoff, baggage handling and required processes must be verified for the actual trip.
Can I use the map estimate as my full connection time?
No. A map estimate does not include deplaning, boarding cutoff, gate changes, baggage, security, border processing or personal movement needs.
Does completing the checklist guarantee the connection?
No. It organizes current verification; delays, gate changes and operational decisions remain outside the page.
