Also, it's pretty early to be thinking about tickets for next summer. Fares may change a lot by then.
For any other set of dates I would agree with you. However, this weekend also coincides with Cornell university graduation. With AAs and UAs 2 measly direct flights everyday, this is gonna sell out pretty fast.
Just checked fares to Scranton. They are worse! Getting to this podunk little town is becoming a huge PITA.
How about train connectivity from NYC?
