I had 8 schedule changes appear last Friday, all through SFO for flights via BOS, MIA, & BWI, during Nov & Dec. W/o thinking I agreed to all of them, and then became very concerned about it for several days, as my connecting flights were the last of the evening out of SFO. I called the 1K desk last night to inquire what the MCT was for domestic-domestic @ SFO since all of my connections were now 33 to 44 mins, where originally they were 55 to and hour & a half. The res agent was very cool and stated that she would check with her super to find out, and came back on the line to state that they could not come up with an exact time, but there probably was one written somewhere. She looked at a few of my itineraries and stated that I should do some research to find better connections and call back when I knew what I wanted, and she would NOT accept these changes if she were me.
Did so this a.m. and at first got some flack, but held my ground, bringing up that originally I purchased connections thru LAX (1 hr & 10 min connection), one of my aircraft was changed to a 319, and the connection time for me was not doable due to a case of Plantar fasciitis that popped up over the weekend and is killing me. Was informed that it would be $87.00 plus a $200.00 change fee, on 3 of them and higher on the rest, because I was voluntarily changing my booking. Dug in my heals and reminded her that UAL changed my flights and NOT ME! Tap-Tap and 5 out of 8 were rerouted (No Charge), and during the call I decided to capitulate and chance it on the BOS connections, which are 44 minutes (probably messed up on these, and will still decide what to do, if the first one goes south). Flights with a 44 min connection may work, but if not, and it's weather, I'm on the floor til the next morning, or out of pocket for a hotel, because I am not standing in a c/s line at 1 a.m. with closed U/C's!
Anyway, just wanted to mention that a 30/40 minute MCT in SFO will NOT work for me and we'll see about the 44 min one's, beginning in about a month!
