Hi andy,Originally Posted by andy222
Crystal came up with the right price for me but I will just see how the flight goes. Hopefully no hicups. My connecting flights are pretty close to each other so if one is delayed it might spell trouble.
Never ever fear about having short transfers. If it's with the same airline or alliance on a single ticket booked through, it should have been booked no less than the minimum transfer time which is often as little as 45 minutes.
Occasionally the baggage can go astray in these situations, but many airports are geared up for short transfers in terms of luggage, because it costs the airline money if baggage goes astray.
The reality is that if your inbound flight is delayed, most airlines have a system which automatically rebooks you onto the next flight. If the flight is very late, sometimes your greeted as you disembark the aircraft on the jetway by someone with a clipboard who will provide you with your ongoing flight details, otherwise you just goto the transfer desk where they issue you your new tickets. With airlines such as a KLM, you just head to the electronic ticket machines, where with a quick scan of your passport you can obtain your new flight tickets. If the delay is considerably you'll be provided with a food vouchers or a hotel.
I've had quite a few delays over the years, and have never had to fight for vouchers or change of ticket, its normally been done automatically.
So for me, I never worry about having a short connection, if the flight is on time it should be easy to make the connection, and if not you should be looked after. :-)
