I have been really lucky flying through EWR into AVP, but only because I connect onto the 5:35PM flight, which gives me a cushion of one more flight in case I misconnect.

Connecting onto the last flight of the night is always risky, no matter what hub you fly through, or where you are headed. But at least you finally made it to the Wyoming Valley.
