Now I'm willing to pay a little extra to keep the miles under one roof with hopes that its sunny after it pours, but I'm sorry, the privilege of flying UA E is not $150 more than anyone else. Plus marine air terminal at LGA > terminal C zoo.
Not sure what type of customer this price is really targeted at..
definitely amazed by how much price premium UA could command on such a competitive route ... and that 437 is out of LGA not EWR
