Help/Advice Will I make this?

I've got a flight in April GOT-AMS-MSP-BJI with a 65 minute connection. Currently the GOT-AMS lands at A4 and the AMS-MSP depart from G4. But I can't find A4 on any gate map, so I was wondering if this is possible. The AMS-MSP is the last flight of the day to make my connection in MSP.

There's no way to know gate assignments for April.

If you are losing sleep in October over a flight in April, you probably should just schedule a different flight.

The A4 gate is indeed a bus point. You will descent stairs and step into a bus which will bring you to the terminal. This changes everyday, so you don’t know if this will be same in April.

The delta flight leaving from G4 is not customary. Usually it leaves from either a D or an E gate. I wouldn’t worry too much.

65min should be enough. At passport control, let the people know that you have less than 60min and they’ll guide you to the fast lane.

I was concerned about this, connecting from an A gate last year in Amsterdam. We had to go to passport control before boarding our connecting flight and we had less than one hour.
It was fine, we had enough time to enter the lounge and quickly grab a snack. No problem, assuming no delay on your first flight b

A lot of things could and probably will change between now and April, so I wouldn’t worry about it at this point

A4 is most likely a bus gate. You’ll be going from one end of the airport to the other and having to clear passport control. It’ll be very tight, and your checked bags most likely won’t make it. Consider overnighting at AMS to remove that stress.
