I'm all for this, particularly during the years that LGA will be reconstructed.

Perhaps that is another reason why AA is restructuring its service at JFK as well.

Yup. I'll go so far as to say that I wish everything served from LGA had reasonable options from JFK -- a far more functional and better-connected airport.

Assuming that routes continues 12 months of the year, those are GREAT times for skiing trips. Get your full day's work or school in and a leisurely trip to the airport, be at the slopes at 2 a.m. or so, sleep in and have your first runs before lunch. On the way back, check out of the hotel or condo in the morning, ski all day, be on the road by 6 p.m. and no worries about traffic.

Who wants to drive into the mountains at midnight local time (2am NY time)??? That's asking for trouble!
On the return, only works (for me) if my lodging has a facility to shower after skiing (And mine did at Breck 2 years ago when I flew back via LAX on a "mistake" F fare). Or if they do at the AC (?), I guess I would maybe buy a pass.
And the next day would be a bust, after a 3.5 hr red eye in a domestic F seat!

Don't the ER3/4s actually have very high operating costs (per ASM)? Which is one reason why they've largely disappeared?

I'm assuming that AA is mostly O&D (PHL-LGA-YYZ dumping notwithstanding) whereas Air Canada and Westjet have all kinds of connecting traffic.

I go to Toronto a few times a year and until last September generally flew AA, but with those nice planes on which I was routinely UGed (of course, that was under the old system, no telling what would have happened nowadays) now replaced by all-Y rattling metal egg crates, I've shifted my flying to AC and PD, both of which IMO offer a better product.

PD in particular is fantastic, if you are going to the city core proper, due to the location of YTZ as well as it's ease of use due to small size.

I don't know if you have ever driven from Denver to the mountains when it is snowing, but it is not an enjoyable drive. It is even worse when it is midnight and there is no light. I was once on I-70 and had to go 20 mph due to a snowstorm at night. If I were to arrive anytime after 9 pm, I would fly directly into EGE, ASE, etc. to avoid a drive. As for the return, it's hard to have a productive day after a redeye that short, so I would probably simply take an early flight. Plus, going back to a hotel/condo for a shower and a change of clothes after skiing makes a huge difference.

If you are going skiing out west for a quick trip and have to be very efficient in terms of time, I would recommend heading further west. Last year, I flew EWR-YVR on AC on a Friday night, didn't miss a day of work because it left in the evening, and was at Whistler by 11:30. On Sunday, I left Whistler around 6, took Cathay's redeye YVR-JFK flight, and was able to be at work Monday morning. I wouldn't have been able to be productive all day Monday had my redeye been much shorter.

Have they finished that tunnel?
The ferry was cool once. Once. ;)

They have indeed finished that tunnel!

Any update on the rumored AA/LHR route? Thanks in advance.

Was it ever made clear if this new AA U.S.-LHR flight is one that AA and BA is not currently flying, or just not AA?

I could be wrong but I thought it was a route that nobody was flying. That was the impression I got.
