I travel thru ATL frequently & would never book a 45" connection. There are so many variables - if you land & take off from the same terminal you'd be OK but there's no guarantee of that happening. So if you have to change terminals it would be difficult. And since Delta only has a couple of flights a day I wouldn't take that chance of missing a flight.

Bear in mind, there is a good 30-40 minutes of extra time built into the schedule. While it would concern me, I just connected through ATL (with a much longer window) and 45 minutes would have worked. There is an underground train system that is very efficient.

I would agree on a return connection.
To the original poster, check a couple of days and see how close to on time your flight is arriving and the connection departing. That will give you some idea of what to possibly expect.

Last Friday the SXM flight departed from E terminal and our inbound flight arrived at B terminal from what I recall.

Should not be any problem. Customs and Immigration were very short times to get through, re-check bags was a breeze and security (connecting flight) was not bad. Perhaps 30-40 minutes total this past Friday.

What Bahston said but it was pretty smooth last Fri. Less than 40 min. total time. I had TSA pre-check on the way to SXM (which was really nice) and also on the way back but I guess with a connecting flight, it doesn't apply?

Must have been the situation then. Since I only fly about once a year now and it was the first time I had it, wasn't sure what to expect. I saw no signs and when I asked TSA I was told there was not a Pre-Check line.
