It would be handy for me if the little stub had some more information: when the plane is scheduled to land. When I have connecting flights there's usually a point when I'm in the air thinking about whether I have time to do such-and-such before I have to board the next flight, and I can never remember when the arrival time is meant to be. It would be nice not to have to look this up on my phone or in my own notes.
In the same way, there could even be information like "You have 48 minutes before your next flight (BA55)" or "You need to change to Terminal C for your connection".
- sheri 13y agoAt the very least, they should give the connecting gate number, and if possible instructions to get there and to walk to the gate. I presume they don't do this since the gates are subject to change, so printing this up front could mislead someone. To me, I shouldn't really need a physical boarding pass. They should just be able to scan an ID and inform me the gate number during boarding.

- r00fus 13y agoI presume the reason they don't print this "additional" information is because a) it's subject to change and often does and b) travelers may sue when this information is completely false also c) some of that information may make the traveler or the airline look bad.
- miahi 13y agoFor connecting flights you usually have another boarding pass, so you can look at that. Arrival times can vary a lot (because of runway and gate schedules, weather conditions) so you cannot really say "you have 48 minutes before your next flight", but something like "you probably have between 10 and 160 minutes before your next flight", and this is not helpful. Also, gates and terminals can change at any time.
