I have a few hours in ATL so in theory, perhaps I could go to a US GA for a boarding pass (do they do that?) or deal with a boarding pass landside in ATL (although then I get to go through security again).
My TA doesn't really want to issue the tickets like this (he is very protective
) - he said I should be going through IAD instead with a 3 hour layover.
If I do take the chance (when was the last time a flight was late?
), but still miss my connection, will US show any mercy to a *G for rebooking? My past experience would say no.
