Yicks. And about TA 'releasing' booking is new news to me. Maybe I haven't fly enough.. can someone comment? nice to know what the heck is that mean in the future....

Maybe I am a bit blunt. It is within your control.

I will tell my boss I am going to miss my flight so please cut the crap short.
And to have a meal at restaurant with a tight timeline (when you know the meeting was past orig meeting time), esp close to rush hour? I wouldn't risk it. Just grab something after you have arrived (or close by) the airport...

But I do get a feel for you with the phone calls you get involved in.... with all the finger pointing.. and I can't understand why AC need you to call your TA etc...

Just remember "Bad planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part" rule...
