Its its not, what do you think the odds are of me being able to just wait it out in the bathroom, then emerge when its too late, claiming the first flight gave me food poisoning and I was out of commission? Or, better, the most honest route of just telling them i want a few hours and beg them to put me on the next flight?

Otherwise, I got what I think is a great fare, but we'll see if everyone agrees: NYC - LIS /// LBV - NYC for 1300. I'm pretty pleased!

Thanks!
Daniel.
Are you prepared to let them cancel the rest of your itinerary because you missed a segment? If not then don't be a plonker and take your flight like everyone else.
