Just found it interesting that some airlines have a so-called "flat tire rule" and some airlines, such as LX, do not.
This isn't even a "flat tire". The parents simply arrived at the check-in deadline. Perhaps they missed the fact that JFK is a 75-minute deadline in Y (60 minutes in F/J). But, there is no explanation provided for their tardiness. To be frank, one piece of advice for anyone who is a bit slower or less experienced is to simply allow more time.
