Would UA cut prices on ORD-LGA flights? Or would they just ignore it?
Nope, DL 5465 (ORD-JFK) and DL 5469 (JFK-ORD) operated by OH still operate daily.
And yes, it absolutely will help pax flying int'l at JFK...if they don't mind flying domestically on an airline that won't even transfer their bags to their connecting airline.
