I would say that 40 minutes is enough time but my recommendation is that you sit towards the front of the aircraft so you are one of the first people off the plane.

That may be a tight squeeze, especially since that will be an international flight and you will probably have to change terminals. Like the user above recommended, try to get the closest seat to the front of the aircraft on your flight to Atlanta so you can get off the plane first and as soon as you arrive to ATL go straight to your gate as soon as you arrive at the airport before doing anything else (restroom, food, etc..). Good luck!

It is if both legs are on the same airline written as a connecting flight. In the event that your MSP-ATL is late and they do not hold the ATL-???(costa rica) flight, the airline will see to it that you get accommodated and get there at their expense. It doesn't hurt to sit as far forward as possible nor would it hurt to advise any gate agent at ATL that you are running late. RJ PS ATL is a huge facility, terminals are laid out in a linear fashion with automated "trains" running every few minutes. Consult the airline's website (DL?) or airport website for gate and terminal info.

The official minimum connecting time in the airlines's systems, from a domestic to an international flight connecting at Atlanta is 60 minutes. Some connections though give you 40 minutes or 45minutes which are valid as connections in the airlines' systems, however is a bit risky. As an airline employee and with my experience I would suggest always go a bit more than the suggested minimum connecting time when you have connections so that you will not have unpleasant surprises. Hope this answers your question.
