Scheduled connection time is not usable connection time. Account for delay and airport processes to reveal the buffer that actually remains.

3 minutes short before disruption.

Useful time is what remains after a plausible arrival delay, door opening, walking and the processes you selected.

The connection is protected as one ticket, but protection does not make the transfer comfortable. Look for a later backup departure.

HOW THE ENGINE THINKS

A timeline, not a magic score.

  1. A

    Consume the schedule

    Expected arrival delay and the selected airport processes are subtracted from the published layover.

  2. B

    Expose the surviving buffer

    The output shows minutes that remain before a practical gate-close allowance.

  3. C

    Price protection separately

    A through ticket may offer rebooking protection; a separate ticket usually shifts the exposure to the traveler.
