One hour of connection time just won't work any longer at today's airports
It's become painfully obvious, based on more dreadful experiences than I choose to recall, that the "legal connection time" of one hour is no longer sufficient in today's air transportation. The number of flights arriving a half an hour late, and the distances that one must often cover from one terminal to another to board a connecting flight, insure that you will often miss the connection when you have booked a connecting flight scheduled to depart only an hour after your arrival. And often, when you have missed that connecting flight, you are in deep trouble with all your other scheduled activities.
Sad to say, split-second timing and efficient scheduling are no longer realistically available to the airline passenger. If only we had a decent railroad system for our transportation needs!
