Island Air: I tried to catch a ride when it looked like I'd miss two flights in a row on HA (other pilots commuting). The agent turned me away after I showed up :35 prior and the didn't know what to do.... at :31 prior she said 'well, sorry you're too late, the deadline is :30 prior to departure'
As there was no way to get the crew's attention, I hoofed it back to Hawaiian.
Perhaps some Krispy Kreme donuts could have paid for your passage......
