Got to
@AlaskaAir 48 minutes before our flight. 50 minutes is what’s needed to check a bag and apparently that’s a HARD cutoff.
They stayed firm. No human moment of course. Wouldn’t help with the existing flight. So now my wife, my 1 year old and I are changed from a direct flight. To a connecting flight, that due to maintenance is delayed and we will miss our connection… so now a non stop flight that would have got in at 3:30pm is a connecting flight, delay, missed connection, and an arrival at 11pm.
All because of 2 minutes :(
Traveling with a baby is hard. Lesson learned
