Can I make a connecting flight in 1 hour?

What happens if you are late for a connecting flight?
Hear this out loudPauseIf your itinerary was purchased as one ticket (as in: you have only one itinerary and one confirmation number), and the connection time was too short and you miss the second (or third) flight, you can rest easy, no matter what happens. The airline will simply put you onto the next available flight, free of charge.
What happens if you miss a connecting flight due to not enough time?
Hear this out loudPauseIf you missed your connection due to the fault of the airline, the airline should rebook you on the next available flight to your destination. If the missed connection means that the flight is no longer serving the purpose of your original travel plan, you may also want to make use of your rights of reimbursement.
Is the airline responsible if I miss my connecting flight?

Is it bad to purposely miss a connecting flight?
Hear this out loudPauseRe: Intentionally missing a connecting flightYou are correct, any remaining portions of the reservation would be cancelled, but that does not apply to you in this situation. You also will not be able to check bags as they would continue on to the final stop without you. Beyond that, there is no penalty.
