JFK runway construction
Port Authority is taking the 13L-31R runway out of service until November for resurfacing. While I'm glad they're investing in maintenance, I'd give this as reason enough to avoid JFK unless necessary. A bunch of Delta Connection flights were cancelled yesterday due to winds and non-intl mainline had an average 2 hour delay. I can't imagine how things will go if there are thunderstorms or early-season snow in Oct/Nov.
