Another Turbulence Incident.

There is a lot of truth to that, people just don't understand. At DEN, with so many flights on A con now, best I can do is 22 minutes from B68 to A15! (2x this year!) I can't breathe for 10 minutes after, but it is doable! Still if there wasn't an option for a 35 minute connection, people might be able to enjoy the travel experience instead of being downright miserable. I won't book anything less then an hour and a half anymore, it's just not worth the stress.

Completely agree. 90 is my minimum. I feel better with two hours.

This just in, a Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence. Several injuries and one passenger fatality.

I promise you all that failure to wear seatbelts was involved in both injuries and fatalities.

i am amazed that people who wear seatbelts in their car don't on coach buses, taxis and planes after takeoff. I wear mine throughout the flight unless going to the restroom.

Public transit doesn’t have seatbelts.

The goal is to pack as many in, not safety.

BYOH.

I was speaking of coach buses not mass transit. I should have stated that I will edit if I can

Depends upon the airport and whether we've been there before and know what to expect.
You can book connections that are only doable if everything goes perfectly. We've been caught in an imperfect connecting time once that might have easily been avoided had I booked us a more comfortable connection time.
So, I'm with you on avoiding overly tight connections.

Sometimes it is better to drive to COS and just fly out of there. I arrive 45min before. Though, I think Highlands Ranch people figured that out considering traffic lately.
