B6 199 LGA-MCO canceled
Hello all. Can someone please tell me why B6 199 LGA to MCO on Thursday June 8 was cancelled this morning. My friend was supposed to fly on that flight. The gate agents did not say why and rebook him on a later flight out of JFK to MCO.
Thank you.
Thank you.

The B6 198 flight from MCO was canceled so the technical reason for the B6 199 not operating is most likely lack of aircraft.

Hope your friend gets a gesture from B6 for the delay. Depending on the time of the delay there may be some prescribed compensation in the B6 Customer Bill of Rights.
I find they're pretty good at apologizing when things go south.

From the weather hitting Florida over the last few days, especially yesterday in Mco, the plane was late coming from BQN (729/730) and arrived in MCO at 738a. Looks like aircraft were playing catch up through the night to get the ops realigned and your friends flight, the Lga turn, was the casualty to right size the operation. Amazing what you can find via flightaware sometimes on the aircraft whereabouts and get more realtime answers.... so looks like it was a weather related cancel, since the storms also rolled through central Florida around 8a too.... it's been a mess the last few days with Mother Nature and the deluge of rain over the last 4 days.
Was your friend already at Lga when the rebook happened? If only the airtrain connected Lga and JFK.

I believe he was at the airport gate area in LGA when the GA announced the flight cancellation. Not much he can complain about if it was weather related. He booked the flight the day before of travel due to family related reasons. Yes one can only dream of a AirTran between LGA and JFK. If they do build it, might as well include EWR and Penn Station .

Were the later LGA flights full? They offer pretty frequent service to MCO from LGA. They've also redone Concourse A so it's actually a nicer area to wait now than it used to be.
In any event, I thought they kept an extra A320 at LGA the way they do with the A321 at LAX. I've seen them sitting at a hard stand on occasion. But maybe they were just getting maintenance.
Too bad they couldn't just ferry one over from JFK. Must not have been a full flight.
