Checking obsessively over the past few weeks, looks like at least 20% of the flights definitely misconnected, and another 20% would have required sprinting to make the international flight.

I'm prepared to try for earlier flights in the 24-hour window, or beg for the BA nonstop at the gate on the day we fly if there's a delay. , but would be happier to fix this ahead of time. Any magic words that might get us on an earlier SAN-DFW leg now if I call reservations?
