I'm considering a trip from Harrisburg (HAR) to Hartford (HFD) on May 23, 2009 (Saturday). The earliest itinerary showing up shows a Keystone train leaving HAR at 7:20 a.m., arriving Philadelphia (PHL) at 9:09 a.m., and the Vermonter leaving PHL at 9:20 a.m. and arriving HFD at 2:08 p.m.
By definition, this is a guaranteed connection, because it shows up when I plug in HAR to HFD (it is not found through the multi-city search). However, to me, 11 minutes is cutting closer than close.
I could buy the ticket with money online and nobody would be the wiser unless the Keystone train is late. But, if I use 3000 AGR points to "buy" it, I have to do it over the phone because it involves a change of trains. Will the AGR agent allow me to do it, or likely to say that it is too short a time between trains?
