Tips to Make Your Connection
If you couldn't get the direct flight to your destination and have to make connections, here are some tips on how to make of running down a terminal never happen to you again.
- Avoid tight connections. Load factors are very high, making it more difficult for airlines to accommodate passengers with missed connections on later flights. Remember airlines are NOT required to have any consistent policy on holding planes, so do not EVER count a plane being held for you and your fellow passengers.
- Consider the size of the airport when accepting minimal connection times. It takes a long time to get across some airports and airlines do not assign gates based on the needs of connecting passengers.
- Check the on time performance for your flights before you buy the ticket. Some flights are notoriously delayed. Your airline is required to provide you with this information.
- Avoid major hub airports in most cases. If your destination is served by multiple airports, using a secondary airport can provide a less hectic or congested experience.
