your first flight ever and you have 30 minutes to make your connecting flight

Airbus, Boeing 737, and Canadair.

^ Yeah, I think this will be VERY challenging!

4/30/2008 3:03:59 PM

actually it will be impossible

you will miss the connection. i will put 100 dollars on that

4/30/2008 5:23:59 PM

what happens if you miss a connection?

any answer besides one from ^ will be considered.

you wont get to where you want to go on time

and the time you actually do arrive depends on whether you can get on the next flight out with that airline or have to wait for a flight that has an opening



its like, what happens if you miss a transfer bus on the wolfline

but writ large

Oh ok, that's not so bad. So I don't have to pay a massive fee for missing or anything? That was my main concern, I suppose.

no they'll do what they can to put you on the next available flight, you just go to the person at the counter at the gate

Cool. That's good to know too. I bet I'll be running through the airport thinking "Well, NCSUWolfy said for me to dress lightly (check!), pilgrimshoes said an empty nalgene bottle would be helpful (check!), and ............ oh shit! There goes my plane! I need to log into to tww and see what it was again that Agent0 said about missing my flight!"


I am excited, though. I bought a new 36'' rolling suitcase for $15 off someone on cragslist! It's AWESOME! Now I just need one more, maybe 28''-30''.

"ake an empty nalgene with you through security. as long as it's empty when you go through the scanning and the like, you can just attach one to your bookbag strap and they wont have a problem with it. then fill it up with a water fountian on the other side, and again during your layover (if you empty it during the first leg). it's better than paying the like $4/bottle at the gate stores, and it's nice to have water handy"

good call

my brother had a funny bit about the shoes deal, "one bastard doing this has caused everyone forever to have to take of their damn shoes."

can i get on this action? (you're definitely gonna miss it, going through a major airport? you're gonna be at least a hour late, most of this time will be spent on the ground at the airport so you get a good view of your connecting flight taking off probably)

So, its not my fault if I haven't been let off the plane yet before the flight leaves... lets just vlarify that part of the bet.
