"involve non-protected transfers"
You may put this in bold. This means, if your plane is late/delayed and you miss a flight, the other airline will give a f. about that and you are left stranded. Proceed with caution!
- jsjohnst 11y agoNot entirely true. Many airlines have some kind of accommodation for same day delays due to extenuating circumstances (aka 'flat tire on way to airport' or 'missed connection from other airline'). Furthermore, even "protected" transfers can be a hassle as many airlines treat those without status like crap. Sure, you'll get another flight, but when and you might be left footing the bill for the hotel for the night.
- ropiku 11y agoSince those flights are not on the same booking it's not a connecting flight and they don't have to help you. They might, but if they don't there's nothing you can do about it.
- chx 11y ago> Sure, you'll get another flight, but when and you might be left footing the bill for the hotel for the night. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Which airline will not cover hotel costs if you are missing a connection because of their fault? Is that even legal??
- jsjohnst 11y agoWeather isn't "their" fault. With United for example, unless you are 1k status, they won't cover hotels due to flight cancellations or delays due to weather. They give you a scrap of paper with "discounts on hotels". Thankfully, I am 1K, but I've seen many an irate customer in Chicago affected by this.

- bencollier49 11y agoDo you mean they won't give an f?
