Will 1 hour 10 minutes connection in Amsterdam to Dubrovnik be enough to change planes?

We are leaving Seattle to Dubrovnik in Sept. There is only 1 hr, 10 min layover in Amsterdam. Is this enough time?
We missed a connection in Paris last trip from Seattle to Paris to Athens with only 50 minutes for the connection.

Delta airlines (not sure if that's who you are flying) does a lot of 50-70 minute connecting times in Amsterdam. I've done this about 5 times, and always made it. It's tight, but Delta is responsible for rebooking you if this is all on one ticket. There are many, many posts discussing this connection. You might do a search for more opinions.

I'm starting to worry about my short connection in Munich. Only because I've been reading about the new entry system that has started as of November 24 this year. The first time we (as Americans) enter the EU zone, we will be using their new digital system. Articles I've read say that they will scan our face (I've already had that done many times in the EU with my biometric passport) but it also says that we'll be giving digital fingerprints to the system too. Once it's done, it's all set up. But I'm wondering how much time this first entry will take.

AMS is a much easier airport to transition than CDG.

Barbara are you referencing EES? I didn't think that was in effect yet and the date is TBD.

The true answer, like answers to many of life's questions, is "Maybe - it depends."

If all goes well (inbound flights are on time or early, you move quickly through the airport, no long lines, etc.) then yep, you'll make it. If all does not go well, you might miss it.

Presumably your itinerary is all on one ticket, yes? (if not, all bets are off).

Ask yourself the perennial flight-booking questions...

  • How bad would it be if you missed you onward flight?
  • What would be the consequences of that?
  • How comfortable are you with the risk?
  • What are your other options?
