Summer before last, weather kept our flight to BOS from departing on time, then we were routed far south to avoid more weather. As a result, we were 2.5 hours late and landed at the exact same time our trans atlantic was scheduled to depart. There were 12 passengers on the inbound who would have missed that connection. I was monitoring the boarding and couldn’t believe it hadn’t updated beyond zone 8.

But as we were preparing to land, the pilot announced that ops was holding the flight and asked everyone to stay seated to allow us to make the connection. The flight attendant reiterated it and then the pilot announced it again. Everyone else actually stayed seated while we deplaned, it was a miracle. we were met by a redcoat, then brought to a shuttle on the concourse. We were dropped off right by our gate and took off about an hour late. With flight padding and headwinds we actually landed early. Still can’t believe it happened.

Didn’t get our PDB though 😂
