Is 54 minutes enough time for a connection in Cleveland Airport (CLE)

Is 54 minutes enough time for a connection in Cleveland Airport (CLE)?
Im taking a Continental flight (with no luggage-only carry on) from to Washington Reagan by way of Cleveland. My connection time is only 54 minutes, and its the last flight to Washington Reagan of the night. There are later flights to Washington Dulles and Baltimore. I have to be in Washington on that next day. Is Cleveland a reliable airport, and is Continental good about connections and getting you on a plane back home?

Hate to say it, but anything less than an hour is a tight connection. It will depend on your first flight arriving in CLE on time. If it's late, it's up to the people in CLE to decide to hold (if necessary) and chances are they won't. If it is on time, you should have no problems. I would suggest replanning your first flight to give you more of a connection time.

I would say that barring any delays, 54 minutes should be ample time. It is a little tight but maybe your departure gate is really close to your arrival gate. If you can try to have a seat towards the front of the plane so you can get off faster to make your connecting flight, that would be optimal.
