| - This was my experience, my family of 5 and I were 1 minute late for our connecting flight. Our flight, coming from Philadelphia to Arizona, was 40 minutes late because the Philly incoming fly was late, so leaving Philly, we were 30-45 min late. The flight attendants in flight told us we would make our flight 'no problem,; and we all ran from A to B gates. When we arrived to the gate, they had JUST shut the door. The plane was still parked. People from our SAME previous flight made it onto the plane before us and they had just gotten off the Philly flight just before us... In flight, we were told to 'move to empty seats in the front', but then i was ridiculed by a 'passenger-US Air flight-attendant for moving seats when we still had '40 minutes left of flight.' We explained to the man at the door that my mom was a stage 4 cancer patient and needed to get on this plane in order to make it to a very CRUCIAL doctor appointment. Then the man, who goes by John D. on his name tag, said "You must have not run fast enough." We are now stuck in Phoenix and will not be making it back to our hometown for my moms doctor appointment. In flt attendants should have called for transport to get us to our gate on time, or they should have contacted the front desk/tower to let them know we had just arrived from Philly (late because of US Air and not our fault) and to hold the plane for a few minutes. There were 5 of us. This was horrible treatment. When we arrived at connecting flight, all flt attendants acted like they had no idea our flt was late due to US Air fault... Never ever will we fly this airline again.
