Count me as another of the 2%. I book under t-Plus and or latitude passes due to last minute booking pattern and cnx . For Cnx , I book the legal routing offered on-line but tend to show at gate,many times within 20 minutes of departure, to make an otherwise illegal booking cnx to get back to YSB.
i.eYQT/YYZ/YSB leave at 6:10am ,arrive YYZ at 7:55. Legal cnx to YSB is at 10:10am. I try to get on 8:10am . With a latitude pass,no hassle.T-plus may or may not get the look but generally OK as well.
BTW,missed the YSB 8:10 cnx the other day as flight pushed back from gate at 8:01. Early
