Delta Passenger Arrives at Gate One Minute Before Departure, Tries to Get Door Opened

A passenger trying to catch Delta’s #DL1330 flight to Minneapolis arrived at the boarding gate just one minute before the scheduled departure time.

After realizing that boarding had already been completed and the gate was closed, the passenger tried to reach airline staff by knocking on the door leading to the apron. However, the passenger was not allowed to board the aircraft.

ℹ️ Airlines close boarding gates a certain amount of time before a flight’s scheduled departure. Passengers are therefore required to be at the gate by the boarding deadline indicated on their boarding pass.
