There is a direct flight on American that leaves at 13:26 go back to desk and see if they will switch you to that one.

Im still at the the desk. It has to be air Canada or United.

unless I want to go out in my own and buy another ticket.

The other option was to connect through Washington and get in at 7:15

Well I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. I have had success in the past but it was a long time ago. 
 

I never accept a flight via Toronto with less than at least 2 hours in between but that’s after many trips via Toronto.

And I was standing at that counter for over an hour. Finally when I mentioned it she said I could sit over here. I don’t know what’s talking so long but even though I have the new itinerary I don’t have the seat yet. That’s a flight that had 1 seat left.

If you are on the one getting into Dallas at 18 hrs It looks like your first flight arrives in Terminal 2 and next flight flies out of terminal 1. It’s a 10 minute walk between terminals. 15 min max.

I see that one public restroom is for Amazon women and families with children...

[Saint Greg]

They didn’t give us food on the plane so I haven’t eaten since that burger 6pm yesterday 

 

 

[sid_9169]

Dude, that sucks about missing the flight... I believe NCL owes you at least SOMETHING for the nearly impossible connection. Hopefully you can at least get home before dark. 

[Saint Greg]

This cough is getting worse. Hopefully it’s just cause I’m eating and it’s irritating something

Hope so. Did you get a seat assignment? 

[Hogladyrider]

@Saint Greg....oh what drama I wake up to this morning for my first cup of coffee.  That s_ _ K _ 

NCL surely did wrong by you booking those flights.

 

Missed flight, lack of shut eye, nasal congestion, cough, lack of food.....and what else....sure no way to wrap up a great time in Alaska.

 

Still following til the end, stay safe.

[Saint Greg]

Every seat I’ve seen in this airport has these big arm  rests so there’s no hope of laying anywhere but the floor.

I probably need to break down and buy. Some of these expensive airport waters.

I'm sorry Greg, this situation sounds beyond frustrating.  I have a great cruise booked with NCL in 2025 but from what I've read lately about room servicing, entertainment options decreasing, ports missed, (yes, I know, if you want a port guarentee do a land vacation), the wonky flights, the no alcohol for 24 hours in some European ports this summer....

So annoying, I really liked NCL for my solo cruises. I'll keep my booking for now and hope that the latest trends reverse.

They have some interesting bathrooms in Vancouver.
