I missed a flight today at BOS (totally my fault, I got to the airport at 2:00 for a 2:45 p.m. flight and got stuck in a hideous line at security). The SC agents were very helpful (as always) and absolutely were able to help me find alternate flight options. The PM line, on the other hand, told me a 15-20 minute wait and has still not called back now, an hour later.

Slightly OT, but register a complaint with TSA any time your wait at security takes longer than 10 minutes.

Totally agree, but again, where are they going to put it, near the bathrooms? Maybe behind the bar.

No Pre√? Oh, e, after all we've talked about.

That said, I do so love the BOS SC agents. I'll miss them the most when I let my membership lapse in April.

Kind of surprised to hear about the long LAX SC lines so others can’t check in. I remember a time last year when there were three agents working an evening when LAX-SYD was canceled. That created massive lines but one of the entry agents was dedicated to only those trying to get into the lounge. Seems this is what they would have done this time since it worked well in the past.

Only guessing here, maybe because of the weather and other Mx/Cx issues, it was a lot more than just one flt so they used all the agents for flt change. Not good, but got to think this was a quirk situation.

The twitter team should have used some common sense and after you agreed to the rebooking, they should have either reissued the ticket or sent it to some top priority queue to be done immediately.

Of course, the whole issue could have been avoided if you had been able to call and have the ticket issued immediately by the DM/PM line.
When the re-issue is on a different airline, as implied by OP, it cannot be completed without a CSA in my experience.

So true on both counts.

Pre√ at BOS is always a snap for me, and others in my family (am I lucky, or is it just the timing of Delta 230?).

Curbside to SC in 10-12 minutes (sometimes less, it seems).

Back on topic,,,

For those who hate lines to access the SC, just wait til May 1, when the agents have to process all those $29 payments
