Hey guys, so I get the whole transfer time thing. But I dont get something that is happening to two of my flights. So the transfer time in Las Vegas is a min. 1:30HT, this means that passengers cant book a transfer for that time right? Cause I have a flight that gets into Vegas at 01:28 and they are all booked as transfers to a flight from Vegas to San Francisco (SFO) at 02:30. That is only 01:02 difference, not 01:30 like it says the time to transfer is in Vegas. How is this possible? Pretty confused now ;(. Dont get me wrong, I love how passengers are booking the flights, i'm just trying to understand it.
Is it the same plane? If so, the transfer time doesn't apply
Transfer times don't apply if the connecting flight is operated by the feeder plane also??

Yes. It makes it a little easier to understand if you picture continuing passengers simply remaining in their seats while other passengers disembark and new passengers board, more of a one-stop direct flight with two flight numbers, rather than two distinct non-stop flights scheduled back-to-back.
Are transfer times measured from when the plane lands, or from when it becomes available to depart?
From where the plane lands.
I need some clarification. I have a flight from Beijing arriving at 9:43. But on my scheduling page, it shows the plane arriving (or in use) at (until) 10:43.
Does that extra hour include the transfer time?
Does that mean passengers from that Beijing flight can catch a connecting flight at 10:43 or 11:43?
Thanks for your help!
That hour is for turnaround, when they deplane passengers and cargo, empty the tanks that should be emptied, refill the tanks that should be filled, change out the catering carts, and make a token attempt at cleaning (by which I mean focus entirely on the Business/First sections because I’ve never seen a clean economy section), and start loading for the next flight. If your flight lands at 0943, the plane can depart on the next flight at 1043, but passengers heading to a different aircraft won’t depart before ArrivalTime + ConnectionTime.
(e.g. if your airport has a 90-min connection, then the plane arriving at 0943 can take off again at 1043, but passengers heading to a different aircraft won’t depart before 1113.)
Minimum connection time doesn’t apply if passengers arrive and depart on the same aircraft though.
Thanks!

(Bolding mine). How do you know this? Do you only have one inbound flight to LAS per day?
