LAX staff seem oblivious to the stress that late arrivees face.
Two weeks ago we flew MIA (AA) LAX (QF) SYD.. Connection was about 2 hrs and OK by MCT. AA in MIA couldn't (wouldn't) issue our QF BP for LAX-SYD. QF OLCI didn't work. This meant we had to check in at LAX with 2 hrs connection assuming our incoming was on time. This was not good given the 90 min check in limit. Thank goodness for the LAX T4 - TBIT connector. The F lounge staff were not interested in our urgency for getting BPs "we're handling other passengers' problems". We walked to the LAX J lounge and the staff looked after us and were amazed the at the F lounge staff didn't help us.
Short coneections and/or late arrival at the gate = tears. Hey Red Roo, please comment. You're driving us to the competition.
