If you miss your flight by a few minutes, don't they rebook you onto the next one free of charge?
I heard in the states they have the 2 hour 'flat tire rule' to cover disruptions. Let's say you have an unexpected event and miss the flight but show up at the airport. Or am I dreaming and that isn't applied in Europe? To come back on the AMS disaster, it was VERY bad this morning, and completely lacking in any sort of management of queues and passenger flows. How KLM can watch this to happen at their homebase is bewildering. |
jfk-lhr-zrh all BA, 1 hour connection???
I was checking on AA site for a jfk-zrh RT booking, one routing listed for the outbound all on BA, jfk-lhr-zrh with a 1 hour (exactly!) connection in LHR--how is that possible?
About a year ago I flew (all BA) zrh-lhr-jfk T5-T5 connection it took over 90 minutes to get to the departing gate for LHR-JFK: even with FAST TRAK for LHR security, I had to take a train (within T5) and then walk (at a fast pace) a considerable distance to get to my departing gate. [I'm assuming jfk-lhr-zrh would be the same "set-up" but in reverse.] |

60 minutes is the published Minimum Connection Time for a T5-T5 connection. Generally, that's set at a level at which the airline expects that most passengers will make it to the onward flight on most days. But there's a significant level of risk if you book something that's bang on the MCT.
