Needed to get home, I was on a paid ticket, 2 legger on mainline but 1st leg was delayed. Landed, ran to the gate but the gate agent was already down the jet bridge. I started to pull out my cellphone looking for hotels for the last flight of the night was in my mind gone.

A minute later the captain walked up with the gate agent and despite the agents understandable frustration got me on to go home. I thanked him all the way down the jet bridge the best I could, and the FAs gladly helped me stash my carry on.

Though he probably will not see this, I’d like to express how thankful I am and I’m sure I can speak for all commuters here, that these kinds of actions are 100% appreciated.

I’ve missed many commutes home before and I know it’s part of the game so when somebody pulls a hero move like this I can’t say thank you enough. If you ever see me again drinks on me!
