the csr put me on hold, came back and said she had no idea why the delay.

i wanted to know why it was delayed to try and address the connection - would the 2nd flight be delayed as well, for example? so far the 2nd flight is not delayed, so it increases the likelihood i miss the connection.

the first flight is only delayed a couple of hours, but the point is that if i miss the connection i am stuck on a flight that i originally paid more to avoid.

i understand delays, but i have never looked at this from the perspective of receiving diminished service relative to what i overpaid to receive.
