Origianally we were booked entirely on UAL from PDX to SIN. We did not have to change terminals in LAX. However, UAL called and changed our itineries due to a change in schedule. They now put us on Singapore's flight 37 out of LAX whcih will require a terminal change. We only have and hour and thirty-eight minutes in LAX. This will require us to get from Terminal 8 (SkyWest) too TBIT, recheck in for Singapore and get to the gate in approx. 53 minutes as Singapore flt 37 boards at 7:15pm. This assumes that SkWest 6489 arrives on time.
I am concerned that we will not have enough time to make this connection, with the new security rules, check in line etc. I feel UAL should put us on and earlier flight out of PDX, since this change was made at their request. They tell me they cannot.
Is there anything I can do in this situation?
