OT: Missed my flight!

Charlotte. Now headed to Knoxville and driving from there. Gonna be a fun day.
What do airlines do in these situations? They give you a free flight later or do you have to just buy another one?
Depends on the airline. I’ve had them put me on a later flight and I’ve had them tell me I’m screwed.
$75 change fee. Day gonna set me back about $300 and 12 hours of my life. Small airline next flight to where I’m going is Friday.

I overslept a flight one time coming back from work and missed the flight. I got to the ticket counter 20 minutes before my flight at LAX and the lady was like "GTFO no way you're making it". Since i was on government orders I called our travel secretary and begged her to fix this for me and not tell anyone. She was bauce about it and nobody questioned my expense report.
Sidenote: We got no refund for that flight. Whole thing cost about $2,500.

I had an ex-girlfriend who missed a flight once, nobody knows what happened to her.
I missed a Southwest flight once because TSA wanted to fondle my scrotum in a back room. Southwest and TSA toldme tough luck and I had to buy another ticket fur a flight the next day.
Yeah the wife likes to play let’s get to the airport as late as possible and still make it. I didn’t argue that hard waking up at 4:30. Place was fuggin packed and guess there’s a rule they won’t check bags 45 mins before. We got to the counter 40 mins before. Watching Boog hoops now so may not KMS for a few more hours.
Sounds like everyone won that day. BOOG ON
I got a buddy that does the same thing in regards to flights. Tries to time it perfect where when he arrives to the gate they are boarding. That leaves ZERO chance “chit happens”.
I like getting the airport early bc I kind of like to sit at the bar awhile before a flight. You meet some interesting people at the bigger airports
I've never missed a flight because I was running late, but have come close twice. It sucks to be the guy heavy breathing in your seat after running through the airport. #neveragain

Well we’ve made it to the Starbucks in the Knoxville airport. What a relief. Lot of trash orange gear around.
I missed a 615 flight to Chicago this fall from ATL. Got there at 4:30 AM...TSA reopened at 5:00 AM. Took me an hour or so to go thru security as my bag was "randomly selected" to get searched. Got to the gate at like 6:05 but they had already closed the gate. Missed my flight and was on standby for 24 hours. 24 hours in an airport will do things to a man
At least you got some. I missed a flight, my first flight ever, because I was lost in the ATL airport with no one to help me find where I was supposed to go. I was such an idiot back in those days.
When you grew up with my and @Ser Sweater Vest's dad...you never miss a flight...mostly because we've been trained to get to the airport like 3hrs early.
It's a curse and a blessing...

Yeah wish my dad was still in charge of getting me to the airport. Still alive so that’s a blessing. Should hit the outskirts of Charlotte just in time for rush hour.
You should ask them if they'd like a Bruce Pearl necklace, and then Boog all over their faces.
Lol second place gear.
