The Northeast/1960s-Era Primitive ATC Foolishness/Weather and the 3rd World Country that IS La Guardia = you are likely to have issues later in the day. But then you already knew that.

Free advice that you didn't specifically ask for = BOOK THE 7:50am FLIGHT NOW.

Remember to compare today to yesterday once you get to tomorrow

Please report back and let us know how it goes....good luck to you!

Update: There are at least 8 remaining WGA seats at $122 on the 750am flight. Everything else is sold-out as of 1115pm Herb Time.

Thanks! The 750am isn't workable, unfortunately, though that $128 WGA fare is pretty remarkable (and peculiar) so close in. No WGA on any nonstop over the next 7 days (including today) and WGA a week out is $233.

Absolutely true that a PM flight in summer is roulette when it comes to NY ATC delays...circumstances beyond my control put us on this flight. We shall see how it goes... :-)
