Is 40 minutes transit time sufficient to take an international flight in DFW Texas?

Is there only 40 minutes from the arrival time of the domestic flight to the listed departure time of the international flight?

It might be next to impossible if that’s the case as boarding usually starts 30 minutes before the departure time and doors close 15 minutes before. That only gives you 10-25 minutes to get to the gate.

On the other hand, if it’s 40 minutes until the start of the boarding time then you may have enough time.

PS. Numerous websites will give you the on time performance of the domestic and international flight. If you were flying Air Canada, for example, you could reasonably expect the international portion to be consistently late. /s

There will be no immigration/emigration check on your exit from the US. On your return, you will have any documents checked in Phoenix if necessary, then you will receive boarding passes for Phoenix-Dallas and Dallas-London. When you arrive at DFW, you should not have to pass security again and can go directly to the gate via the transit. Your luggage, if any, will be transferred for you.

Providing you are travelling on one ticket, if you miss your flight to London due to late arrival from Phoenix, AA will put you on the next available flight at no charge.

You can ring and ask them if you can change your connecting flight, but the answer is likely to be no unless you booked within the last 24 hours or the connection is beneath minimum connection time or becomes so.
