Our flights were changed by the airline so that we had 8 minutes to connect at LAX...this is what is known in the airline industry as an "illegal" connection time as it is impossible not to miss the next plane! As a result, United gave us a new itinerary entirely...Doreen, we are now on the same planes as you! Woohoo! It also means 2 hours less of travel time :) --so we will definitely be ready for those sunset drinks!
Lucky, when we have an early flight we typically need to drop our miniature poodle off the night before...
