Question on SA and missing a flight
I just had an issue on UA where I missed a connecting flight.
I am about to try for a DFW - PPT award ticket on via SA with DFW-LAX on UA and LAX-PPT on ANZ.
What happens if UA is delayed and I miss the ANZ flight?? It's not like they have a lot of these flights....
I would imagine I will hear "make sure you have a few hours extra at LAX" which I will of course do, but what normally happens? I am interested due to my hopefully upcoming trip and actually just curious outside of that...

How long of a connection do you have at LAX? I would want 2 hours to be comfortable since there is a change in terminals and horrid queues at security in T2. If you're worried about the connection then try for an earlier flight DFW-LAX.
