Thanks, ctownflyer. Luckily it only took maybe four minutes to get through security. We took the subway from Midtown (5:25PM) to Jackson Heights (ar about 6:PM) and connected to a bus (Q33) instead of a taxi since the bus was about to leave. We arrived LGA about 6:23PM for the 6:59PM departure.

I was nicely surprised by the LGA-ATL flight (my first AirTran flight, actually). Really great (lead?) flight attendant - might fall into the top 99.5 percentile of NW attendants (or higher).
