Adding Islip
I think we should consider adding Islip, as it usually is considered a NYC airport (especially when HPN is)..

i agree with you in principal. however, unlike hpn, isp pricing is either way better (sw markets) or way worse (non sw markets) than the three major airports. hpn, otoh, usually prices at equivalent levels to the three big boys. it's in the vicinity, so it should be part of the discussion.

Islip should definitely be part of this forum, as it is only 35 miles from either LGA or JFK. I use it almost exclusively. WN is actually building their own terminal at ISP over the next year, so we can expect major growth in that time period.
I just wish some real airlines would add or come back with service!! I would never ever ever fly WN--can't deal with cattle calls, and I don't fly if I don't have a pre reserved seat.

I really dread the day I have to go to LGA/JFK. ISP is so convenient. I leave home 45 minutes before the flight, get there in about 25 minutes and hop on to American Eagle; never any problems. Just getting to LGA on time can be a logistic nightmare. The fact that I can count on Southwest to make the price competitive to most major markets, makes it a no-brainer.
