What happens if I miss the 2nd leg of my flight?

[vyolett]

I plan to soon start bidding for a r/t flight from NYC - FCO (rome) on PRICELINE, using the links provided on this site of course :) but the only thing holding me back after reading a lot of their fine print, is what happens if they give me a flight with a 45 minute layover in say Charles De Gaulle where 45 minutes isn't enough time, or my first flight was delayed for whatever reason, and I miss the scheduled 2nd leg of my trip? I tried asking their customer service, but pretty much got nowhere except them saying they can't guaranty anything.

Anyone have any experience with this?

thx!

Typically the airline will re-accommodate your on the next available flight... usually not a problem unless traveling during peak times or there is a system-wide shutdown, at which point the next available flight might not be so immediate.
