was no way I was making it based on the security line. I was saved by the woman in front of me.
I was asking enough questions about the flight that she realized she was going to miss it too. For some reason she had been directed out of the Sky Priority line. The airline rep pulled her out of line and assumed we were together. She walked us straight to the front of the Sky Priority lane, got our boarding passes, and got us through security.
We barely made the flight by 10 minutes. I made sure to find the woman at the SLC baggage claim and thank her profusely for getting me on the flight.
