For what it’s worth, this is quite different from any of my experiences missing a flight, which for me have always resulted in at least a couple hours of additional delay, and on some occasions over six. For my sister, on two occasions it has resulted in delays over twelve hours.
Nearly all of these were due not to a deliberate attempt to arrive at the airport as late as I could get away with though (in general I do not try to do this unless the alternative is getting up unconscionably early, because of my experiences regarding the unpredictability of airplane schedules and the amount of delay that can result from missing one,) but because delays on flights I did make on time caused them to arrive after my transfer flights departed.
