I decided to take a look at the flight tracker websites, just to get an idea of gate numbers for an upcoming flight. I know it's not guaranteed, but I figured I would look at a sample size of them, to get a general idea of the likely gates.

Flight is UA663. Connecting to UA863.

Well, as I am scrolling through these flights over the last couple of weeks, I am noticing that these flights are pretty consistently late. And even the ones that are supposedly "on time," the Taxiing time has varied from normalish to crazy. One flight out of Nashville had a 48 minute taxi time. One inbound flight taxied for over an hour!

Suddenly my 2 hour layover is feeling like a tight squeeze. I was originally thinking.....will I have time for United Club? Will I have time to get a bite to eat? Will, I have time to change clothes? After all, it is a long flight. Now, it's.....will I make my flight?

Here is the good news. The BNA-SFO portion, the departure time is a bit earlier than it has been. And the SFO-SYD flight has been pushed back a bit as well. So....I have gained *some* time. But, not a ton. These flights are both on the same ticket....not two separate flights......so I shouldn't have to worry about the luggage.

Since it's the same ticket, will they wait for me (and other passengers on that flight)? Am I freaking out about nothing? Do I need to have a Plan B?
