NYC Area Weather Wavier July 13-14
Delta has issued a weather waiver for the NYC area July 13-14.
I'll be watching this one carefully as I'm flying ZRH-JFK-LAX on the 14th. Would like to keep the routing if possible to stay on a D1 transcon service.

Some pretty strong storms are coming in from the west and delays are already mounting.
The biggest "threat" tomorrow seems to be relatively low ceilings and visibility throughout much of the day.

6 hour delay at FLL for my flight to LGA due to a late arriving plane from LGA. Ugh. Was a rolling delay. Glad I live 20 minutes from FLL so I can wait at home.

Do you ever take the Airtrain to Jamaica station and take the LIRR in from JFK? I find that cheaper and easier (at least for me) than taking a cab in. One of the reasons I hate flying into LGA because I have to take a cab.

Q70 to the subway is absolutely my preferred method of travel from LGA to my apartment on the west side of Manhattan. Taxis often don't save much, if any, time getting to the west side and they cost astronomically more.

It is a bus, but it's a pretty quick and direct bus. It only have five stops: three of them at LGA (Terminals B, D, C, in that order) followed by Jackson Heights /Roosevelt Avenue (connection to the E/F/M/R/7 subways) follows by Woodside (connection to LIRR). SBS stands are Select Bus Service meaning that you dip your Metrocard at a machine at the bus stop in advance, so everyone can then board quickly through any door without stopping to pay the driver, thus expediting boarding.
