I think I’m OK. Just a hunch.
On the not letting me forget I have to board a flight front, i have yet to miss a flight without the reminder. But then again that’s the purpose of insurance. Statistically, the event should be rare, but it gives you a good safety net just in case.
Does that insurance make the FCT better than the FCL? No idea. I do know that whenever I have to stay longer than two hours I want to kill myself either way.
Actually I don't think that's the case! They engage because they want to and I think they do have a genuine interest in their pax, especially the ones they have built up rapport with over the years. Same as on board - which I describe much like a cross between visiting your best friend... and your mother.
I admit I'm not nearly important enough to not be able to worry about what time it is or to be aboe to keep an eye on departure time
. So that 'benefit' doesn't swing the FCT v FCL for me.
