Hi! In NYC we are spoiled as we can fly anywhere directly, however, it has limited my ability to get elite status and I have miles all over the place, but I almost never connect as I have 3 airports to choose from and I always get a flight at the exact times I want. I also just moved to Westchester, but haven't tried the airport yet, however, I am going to Cleveland in July and there is a direct flight, so I might. But even in Westchester it is very easy to get to the other airports, especially LGA!
