I once had to in Dallas, to catch a connecting flight that was leaving about 15 minutes after I arrived. The gate was quite a way aways from where I landed as well.

Yes, for similar reason of a connecting flight being immediately after I arrived. I had to carry my niece in one hand and pull my luggage in the other because dipshits at the security thing separated me and her from my (other) brothers family because only those with babies get to get ahead of the line

There was an idiot holding up the security scan booth thing, and I was forced to pick her up and run since she obviously couldnt run fast enough once we got through.

That whole trip was a mess tbh. We were constantly split up and several of us almost were stranded in Florida because other people fucking up almost cost us making our cruise.

No, but I did have that moment when I was walking to a train, To NYC, just as it was pulling away.
So, I check that moment off my bucket list.

Thank god I was able to get there by bus...I actually made it to the hotel before the person I was meeting up with!!

Yeah. I had to catch her right before she left. I remember I was even carrying a pocket knife, but I looked at the TSA agent and said "please, I have to find her" so they let me through. Didn't have a boarding pass but they let me on the plane. Luckily I managed to see her walk away... with another guy.

Not run but I did have to hurry once. I landed at the Denver Airport and had about half an hour to get to the gate at the opposite end to get my connecting flight to Reno. This was back in 1995, before the heavier restrictions of today. And I still took time to grab a cone of French Vanilla from the airport Baskin Robbins along the way.

Yes, a couple of times. The last time it happened, we got to the gate just as the plane was pulling away. The ticketing agent was already expecting us though and had our boarding passes ready for the next available flight, so that was pretty cool.

Yes, it's a homage to both Kajagoogoo and the Go-Go's.

Nice. I love Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" song. Any other good recommendations?

Had to do it in IAH a few months ago

I had 2 minutes to get there and was on the other side of the airport with a backpack and carry on

Did not make it

I was in a group that had to jog through part of SeaTac in Seattle once to catch a plane waiting on us. It was a small flight for like 45 minutes to Vancouver BC. And then we went to Japan from there. The plane actually waited for us. But I don't know how long they would have kept waiting

Once in Detroit (DTW). and once in Chicago (ORD). Different flights on different trips but a long way to go to make a connection in both cases. I wouldn't have otherwise gone to either city.

Made both connections.

God forbid you need to make a connection at Narita. You may need a shuttle and running shoes.
