I would like to get an advice on the following matter: last month I booked a flight with Continental from Boston to Seattle via Newark (one way). The flight is scheduled for October, and I booked it after closely examining the airline's timetable, finding out that I have some 3 hours between the two flights.
Last Sunday I got an e-mail from Continental, telling me that the flight from EWR to SEA is now scheduled to take off 2 hours earlier, which leaves me with a maximum of 1 hour between the two flights. Knowing how reliable U.S. airlines are in terms of arriving on time, I am deeply concerned that even if I manage to get on the flight to SEA, my baggage will not.
My question is: can I simply skip the flight leg from BOS to EWR, and check in at Newark for my flight leg to SEA? Or can the airline tell me: nope, you practically gave up your seat on that flight because you didn't show up in Boston?
Thanks in advance.
