Usally the only time I have connecting gates next to each other is when I have like a three hour layover. If the connection very tight it is usually at one of the big airports (Chicago O'Hare, Minneapolis, Atlanta, etc) and you have to run from one side of the airport to other.
@jacksonkuster38052 жыл бұрын
This happened to me recently in Chicago where I had a 2:45 layover and arrived on gate H7 and departed from H5, then coming home our flight was delayed and we had to speed walk our way across multiple terminals and the connector train in under an hour!

I used to work at YYC airport until very recently. One thing that many passengers don’t know is the number of flights that have a gate change every day… some flights have a double gate change and that is not transmitted to the passenger in any way and some lose their flights because of it. That happens mostly to the main airline that is based here.

I know it is being a bit pedantic, but there is a big difference between knee room and leg room. I hate bulkhead seats because while they have an abundance on knee room, there is absolutely no room to stretch your leg out. Last time I got a bulkhead seat, it was on a five hour flight. Due to turbulence, we had to remain seated most of the flight. Five hours without being able to straighten my legs out left me with some awful leg cramps. Give me a 30 inch pitch and floorspace underneath the seat in front of me any day.
