Getting close to the daily closure time.... and I am massively conflicted since on a trip to Europe I need to book at the end of April, originating EWR (and JFK) has P inventory on a bunch of *A flights, including UA. Originating IAD most certainly does not. Positioning flights WAS-NYC are all reasonable too. >$2k savings all in, and would probably be forced to book some other version of a horrible itinerary (probably on another airline) due to cost. PQPs lost, etc etc.
But... EWR runway closure

or LGA-JFK transfer...
