Evening all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to marry/link two existing bookings to give protection should the first leg of one booking be delayed and then potential missing the 2nd flight, which would actually be the first leg of a new/different booking? Does that even make sense?!?!?
I have a VS return trip booked LHR/JFK and it now transpires I need to fly to BOS within that trip, and I was wondering if I could arrive at JFK and (assuming sensible minimum connection times given hand luggage only AND global entry) then go straight onto BOS with Delta? I appreciate completely that they'd be two different bookings with the two different airlines, and therefore two different PNRs so technically if the first flight to JFK is delayed its not necessarily DL's problem, but with them being partners, I wondered if there's any way of getting any protection?
If anyone has any experience of this, I'd be most appreciative before I go ahead and book. Of course there's always flexible fare tickets, but I'd rather not go to the extra expense if it's not going to be necessary.
Mr G
