    Well put. Also, it’s not like there’s 1 single sky zeppelin that you won’t see again for weeks. Admittedly, I’m a bad about deadlines and preparing. I traveled for work for years and missed several flights. Not fun, but as long as your actual schedule isn’t too tight, it’s usually no big deal. I talk to the airline, they put me on another flight later, I wait around a bit or go home and come back for the alternative flight.

    At one point I lived like 15 minutes from a smaller airport. I could literally get there 30 minutes before departure if I overslept or something and usually made it through the quick security and onto my flight…

      My guy, you’re missing flights. That’s exactly what the panicked people are trying to avoid.

        I traveled the world for years and missed several flights

        1. just off of that line I would assume the dude’s made way more flights than missed

        2. he went on to say it’s not the end of the world if you do miss a flight. As it’s not. Since there will be more flights soon; so there’s no need to panic

        Meh. I get that, but my point is it’s by no means the end of the world, only a minor inconvenience.
