2 minutes to make connecting flight???

[disneydreamerinny]

Delta changed my flight times, AGAIN, and now we only have two minutes to make our connecting flight from Boston to Orlando.
Surely this must be some kind of mistake.
If not, what the heck are we suppose to do? There is no way we will make it.
Do you think they will change it before our trip?
November 4........
This is starting to irritate me a little.....

You need to give them a call and see what they plan to do. They probably have you on a list to notify you, but you will have more options if you call. This could turn out in your favor. Is there a non-stop that would work for you? If so, ask to be put on that flight. There shouldn't be any additional charge to you, since Delta created the problem.

I know they wouldn't expect you to make the flight -there are minimum times between flights, depending on the airport. Call as soon as you have researched what other Delta flights might work for you. Better to know wht is available than to leave it to them. I have been successful in suggesting other alternatives when the one the airline offers isn't the bets for me.

Good luck!

To answer your other question, yes the scedules will change again - probably Nov. 1. Call now as the previous poster suggested, you will have more flight options.

You must take control of this situation. Don't assume the airline will automatically fix it for you. I've had bad experiences with this sort of thing in the past. That being said, there's nothing wrong with waiting a while to see if the schedules change, but if they don't, TAKE CHARGE!

All airports and airlines have what is called "minimum connecting times" which is the least amount of time needed to make a connection (if all things run smoothly). 2 minutes would not be legal at any airport. Check with Delta and they will have to change you.

Be sure to check the schedule and pick out the flight time/s you want and then ask to be placed on those flights...if you don't know what you want you are kind of at their mercy for relocation.

The good news is Delta has about 40 flights per day from Atlanta to MCO....so you should have plenty to choose from...but if it was me and there was a nonstop at a decent time....I would go for that. Atlanta isn't the worst hub in the world, but it sure isn't my favorite either.
