Did a search but didn't have luck... and couldn't find CO's connection policies on their website either, so hoping you experts can help me out.

Here's my dilemma: I'm about to buy a ALB-SJC ticket on CO, connecting thru EWR. I live closer to EWR than ALB but ALB's fares are way way better, worth the train ride to ALB.

I'm not sure if I will be able to leave work earlier that day so there's a chance I may not make the ALB-EWR flight. I'm sure I can make the EWR-SJC flight. If I miss the first flight, will CO allow me to board the second flight? Would you buy the ticket and take the risk?

Any opinions are much appreciated.

Thanks!
