Had a Brazilian airline pull that on us 25+ years ago (before smartphones and online booking). We show up in Buenos Aires for our flight home, 2+ hours early, and they tell us “if you run, you can still make it.” What? Yeah…they moved it up by 90 mins, we had 30 mins to check bags, clear security, and get to our gate. Fuckers.

At least you could still smoke on that flight....

So you can’t make money running a shitty airline nobody wants to fly? Cheap asses looking for flights to Vegas don’t pay the bills?

I may be a degenerate gambler, but I ain't flying Spirit.

I assume United is the move for Houston to Denver? Work is making me do a back in October. It looks like United has both the earlier departures and latest returns. 

Yep. Almost all of my business flights are DEN - IAH/DFW/AUS.  United is the way to go.

Keeps you out of C terminal as well. Especially lucky if you fly into/out of A and can skip the cattle car and walk

Gonna be Terminal C. I’m getting in very early and coming back pretty late on Thursday. I hope I’ll be OK.

Nothing inherently wrong with C, it's just the annoyance of having to ride the cattle car all the way out that way. 

I also like the newer gates and bathrooms that United has in B

Concourse C at DEN is what he was referring to, not Terminal C at IAH. You’ll be in/out of Concourse C at DEN if you choose to route WN HOU-DEN as opposed to UA IAH-DEN. Concourse C at DEN is a beating due to their clusterfuck of an airport train. “Hoooold on! This train is departing for all C gates.”

Meh, there's little difference between B and C at DIA.  And you have to ride the train to A now as well.

I like that Denver spent a gazillion dollars on a new main terminal that looks like a circus tent.

It has always looked like that.  The gazillion dollars was spent on the inside. New security is much better, though.

Any second saved riding on that piece of shit is worth it.

Went through on Sunday. Huge improvement from before. The train to C took all of 3 minutes too.

The amount of preboards nowadays is out of control. It’s like a whole other letter group unto itself. Is that going to change with assigned seats?

With assigned seats, I have a hard time caring how many people get on before me.

It's a must to get on early if you have an overhead bag and don't want to be that guy swimming upstream to find a compartment or check at the gate.

Delta pulled a new one on me yesterday - randomly moved my flight 10 minutes earlier with less than an hour notice before flight. Was very unappreciated. 10 min may not seem like much but for a pre-8am flight with two teenagers, sucked. Had never seen that before. Always assumed it was kind of the same rule as a bus - it can be late but can’t be early.

Especially considering you have to check your bags 50 minutes early.   My friend showed up 45 minutes early and they wouldn’t let her get on the flight

Delta seems to change flight times more than any other airline we fly.

DFW changes gates like they are under foreign observation and they are hiding missiles.
