I can read, counsellor. I meant the morning connections via MSP both directions fairly good:
Northwest Airlines 509
Booking Class(es): V
Fare Basis Codes: VEW14NR
Ticket Designators:
Sun, Dec 5
3hr 13min
8:05am Depart New York (LGA)
10:18am Arrive Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP)
Plane Change
Northwest Airlines 1019
Booking Class(es): V
Fare Basis Codes: VEW14NR
Ticket Designators:
Sun, Dec 5
3hr 7min
11:20am Depart Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP)
1:27pm Arrive Edmonton (YEG)
Some of the afternoon connections MSP, granted, have a little longer layovers, but then again, so do the CO variety via IAH. If the best connection is sold out in the category you need, you've little choice but to prolong your connection time or pay a higher fare. That is the same story no matter where the connection city may be.
