## Prompt

You land at 1:35 PM with a connecting flight departing at 3:00 PM from the same airport. Clearing customs takes 25 minutes, the walk to your departure gate takes 15 minutes, and boarding closes 20 minutes before departure. Will you make the connection? Show your reasoning.

## Response

Yes — you'll make the connection with 25 minutes to spare before boarding closes. Here's the timeline:

## Timeline

| Event | Time |
|---|---|
| Land | 1:35 PM |
| Clear customs (+25 min) | 2:00 PM |
| Walk to gate (+15 min) | 2:15 PM |
| Boarding closes (3:00 PM − 20 min) | 2:40 PM |
| Departure | 3:00 PM |

## Reasoning

You arrive at the gate at **2:15 PM**, but boarding doesn't close until **2:40 PM**. That leaves a **25-minute buffer** at the gate — and 45 minutes before the plane actually departs.

The one caveat: this assumes your inbound flight lands on time and customs takes exactly 25 minutes. Any delay over 25 minutes eats into your margin, so the connection works but isn't bulletproof.

Is this for a specific airport? Some are known for long customs lines that could tighten this window considerably.
