Well put. Also, it's not like there's 1 single sky zeppelin that you won't see again for weeks. Admittedly, I'm a bad about deadlines and preparing. I traveled for work for years and missed several flights. Not fun, but as long as your actual schedule isn't too tight, it's usually no big deal. I talk to the airline, they put me on another flight later, I wait around a bit or go home and come back for the alternative flight.

At one point I lived like 15 minutes from a smaller airport. I could literally get there 30 minutes before departure if I overslept or something and usually made it through the quick security and onto my flight...

My guy, you're missing flights. That's exactly what the panicked people are trying to avoid.

I traveled the world for years and missed several flights

  1. just off of that line I would assume the dude's made way more flights than missed

  2. he went on to say it's not the end of the world if you do miss a flight. As it's not. Since there will be more flights soon; so there's no need to panic

Most people wouldn't agree with 2 imo. The hassle of rescheduling a flight dwarfs the hassle of showing up a little early by a lot.

Depends on if they make you pay to reschedule

Luckily, so far, I never had to. Although I only arrive like an hour before my flight and only missed a couple due to traffic. Both times I was rescheduled on the next flight no problems.

No. Definitely not.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, to be clear these were all domestic flights. I could absolutely see international being a bigger deal if you missed them, and would prioritize accordingly...

Meh. I get that, but my point is it's by no means the end of the world, only a minor inconvenience.
