What do all 4 of those carriers have in common? 22x daily is a bit more than hourly and it is only to one city.

No. The hot dog is cooked in the oil until it rips open, aka a ripper, and it's served on a regular hotdog bun.

Can the Box help out on this? Happening in real time now.

How can I find out on-time stats on :

Aeroflot Russian Airlines # 315

Moscow Sheremetyevo (SVO) to New York John F Kennedy Intl (JFK)
Departure (SVO):2:20 PM MSK (afternoon)
Arrival (JFK): 5:00 PM EST (evening)

Would a 9:10 domestic (Jet Blue) connection from JFK be at all safe?

Input relevant info into flightstats.com. @:-) It is a worldwide version of FlightAware.

4:10 should be more than enough time w/ a cushion to clear immigration and take the airtrain to T-5.

Thanks (and to CM as well, for the now-future reference.

The play was just called in from Denver; since one PAX is going to PHL, the other to DEN, there's not a real good way to dovetail it (in a Mother's mind, at least). They're now overnighting at one of JFK's many fine hotels.

You know that place is less than 10 minutes from me and I have never been there :eek:

You forgot where it all started. The late and lamented (by me, anyway) Eastern Shuttle did LGA to BOS and DCA on the hour starting in the late '50s or early '60s until its doors were closed in '89.

I agree that PanAm, Delta and Trump did the East Coast Shuttle routes but am fairly certain that none of them ever flew LGA-PHL. DL bought PA out in the '90s and inherited the MAT gates while Trump took over the EA Shuttle and when he had some trouble, US got its management and the lion's share of its ownership. It may now own all of it.

The US terminal was owned by Eastern and that ownership was taken over by Continental when Lorenzo was cherry-picking EA's assets. It was subsequently long-term leased to US which now appears to have the right to assign the lease to DL.

My plat card came in the mail today :D
The s/o also received their gold card which included drink coupons. ^, mine did not :td:

In other news I found out that my mom was holding onto a CO 10% coupon she came across last month when taking a 4 hour WX delay. She claims she forgot about it :eek:

ConciergeMike Nov 27, 2009 9:48 pm

The fiancee has extinguished the lights and made her displeasure at being awake clear. She has to work a half-day tomorrow, while I have tons upon tons of paperwork to do as related to grad school admissions. And so with that, I say:

Night, Box. :-:

Yes, I did. My only excuse is I've been saddled with getting these kids (okay, young adults) to PHL and DEN, and the "best solution" (it after all, is my money, so therefore no object :rolleyes:) is they overnight at JFK, get to LGA in the morning, go out together on US that afternoon stopping in PHL, where one gets off, and the other plane changes to DEN with a 90-min connection.

It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas.
