Thanks--per FlightStats, this TK#186 averages 45 minutes late every day, with an on-time performance 95% worse than all other airlines. Let's just say my confidence level is nil that she'll make the connection.

My concern (and probably hers, after I've told her to anticipate a delayed flight) is how to get/pay for transportation after dark in Beirut, if her party isn't there to meet her at the airport. The country deals in black market cash...i guess she should bring US $5 and $10 and $20?, in addition to the $100 she will have stored in a money belt? She's supposed to be going to a co-worker's home. Anyway, at least if there is a >6 hour delay the Trip Insurance will kick in and pay her for some (limited) inconvenience.
