You have anxiety about missing your connection because the airlines all colluded to have 'capacity discipline.' Every seat on every flight is sold, so if you miss a connection, you're potentially stuck there another day.

This sometimes means spending more money or choosing a different airline, and sometimes it means flying on a different day entirely.
