The recommended layover time for international flights is generally longer, as you will have to go through customs and immigration before boarding your next flight. In most cases, a 30-minute layover for domestic flights and an hour for international flights is considered a minimum, or short, layover.

45 minutes should be fine if you have 45 minutes. Do you have tickets that will be honored if you miss one flight -will you be put on the next flight or are you booking individual tickets.

40 minutes is the minimum connection time for American at DFW. I connect through there frequently and have only a 40 minute layover tomorrow - I'm not worried about it at all. The night before your flight, take a look at the planned gates and terminals and match it up with the Skylink map.

Thanks! It usually takes about 45 minutes to get out of the airport. Rather than "we are scheduled to leave" did you mean "we are scheduled to arrive?" If you arrive at 1:35 pm, you should be out of the airport by 2:15 or so.
